Cheap way to make your dash look new

Got one on my 92 takes about 30 seconds to install, results are great....Paid 300 plus for the new dash for my 89, not that much difference either....

Re: Cheap way to make your dash look new
i like that... it's one of the only ones I have seen with holes for the speakers. I wish more caps had that feature
I've seen one of these installed, and he's right, they do look very good. Someday when the market for good used ones has dried up that you can't get them for less than $300, the dash cap market is going to take off

Re: Cheap way to make your dash look new
I was looking at these a while back but was told after a couple months in the sun with windows up it would start to warp.
If thats not the case I would like to have one cause I hate these damn dash mats.

Re: Cheap way to make your dash look new
There is a little warpage if not glued down, but it is not much, also good idea to use a window heat reflector..Also depends on the shape of the old dash as to how well it will stay flat..Mine is really really BAD....Still for 123 it looks good, my new one was 389 from Classic industries...Its not perfect, but it will hold you over till you can get the real deal...Just thought I would throw it out there for you guys.Now can someone please tyell me how to down size my pics so i can post them on here??? PM if you can, Thanks, Tom

Re: Cheap way to make your dash look new
Its still a good idea to use a dash carpet to protect whatever you have if you're proud of it
