1aauto aftermarket Dash Pad? Yes/No?
I found this on 1aauto.com and was wondering if anyone has tried one. I know that most aftermarket parts and non-GM related parts are crap, don't fit, or both.
Anyone have anything else they want to add?

It's a cover. Not a dash pad. Thin piece of plastic that you glue over your existing dash pad. I haven't tried the dash cover, but I did get the center arm rest cover, just haven't put it on yet.

so is something where you pull the metal backing off the old pad and glue the new cover on that?

Don't get one if your car sees the sun at all. The warranty is viod if you let the sun shine on it. It says you MUST keep a shade over it to block sunshine, or it will cup and warp.

That sucks. What's our options to replace the dash pad with something that looks decent, but won't crack?
