DashPad Factory

Has anyone done business with them? Their ebay reviews are pretty good.

Re: DashPad Factory

Not a bad price OER reproduces these, I just installed a new one in my Bird, not quite 100% on par with factory but a very close solution (after the second one)

I saw dashboard factory on a TV (maybe it was a youtube) show not too long ago and the work looked good on camera. These cars are pretty simple -- I think it would be worth the gamble if I were still looking for a replacement.

The list price is $425. When I called to order, I was quoted $380 shipped and no mention of sending in the old core. It was supposed to ship out on the 18th but went I called back for a tracking number, I was told there was a delay and it would ship on the 20 or 21. I’m still waiting for a tracking number and hoping I didn’t get scammed.

I did get mine. The dash looks great. Only thing different than factory was the speaker cutouts. The pattern was a little different but still perfectly fine. I had several delays with getting them to actually ship it. That would be my only complaint. I specifically asked when I ordered it if it was in stock and when it would ship because I had a car show I was trying to make. 3 weeks later I still missed it.

I recommend it. Like mentioned, the speaker area is a little different, but only noticeable when you have the two pads sitting next to each other. You can tell from the pics I posted on my review - https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/afte...ml#post6292084
