1987 Iroc-Z Dash Replacement?

I am looking to buy this 87 Iroc-Z with the crack in the dash. Does anybody know how much this part cost, and is it easy to replace? Thanks in Advance.

P.S. Is this called the dash bezel?

Re: 1987 Iroc-Z Dash Replacement?

The top one isn't a crack, it's part of the design. The bottom one isn't. Lucky for you, the section you need - since it doesn't contain any essential/sought after parts (other than the z28 logo) - is available in probably any salvage yard. I was just in a yard of 10 Camaro's on Wednesday and all had that part intact. If I were to guess, it shouldn't be more than $30.

Re: 1987 Iroc-Z Dash Replacement?

It's one big piece, not a huge job, just requires a little patience. I just replaced mine, ended up buying a used one w/out cracks on here for like 75 shipped or there abouts. Remove dash pad, gauge panel, easiest to drop the steering column and maybe remove center console so they're out of the way (mine was already out for the 6-speed swap), remove upper hvac vents & speakers/speaker brackets, panels under the dash and then start taking out fasteners. There are a few clips on the passenger side back of the dash holding some wiring you need to watch out for but otherwise, keep removing screws until the dash comes out. When putting the new one in, just be careful not to let it twist too much or you'll end up with cracks.
