Dash Pad Factory Das Pad For Firebirds

They say they have 4 people interested (5 now including me) ... need 15 to make it.

They said it would be 425.00 shipped ... That's a good price, and the reviews on the dash pads they make for 3rd Gen Camaros are pretty good.

Are there 10 more people interested? If so, let them know.

Re: Dash Pad Factory Das Pad For Firebirds

I'm a bit lost... They offer a service to recover a factory core? Or it's a all new dash pad (no core required)? I think I'd want to see what the finished product would look like before I committed to buy. If the final product is right, it's probably worth it. Most of the uncracked Firebird dash pads I've had in recent years have been warped. Truly mint Firebird dash pads are hard to come by.

Re: Dash Pad Factory Das Pad For Firebirds

In a past conversation with them, they use the metal core out of the factory dash pad and then put new material over that. They pull new foam and plastic over the core. They had told me they would want cracked dashes to recover, and I think they said they would send a waybill to pick them up, but I may be remembering incorrectly.

The Facebook link in my first post represents the entirety of my conversation with them. You should ask those questions there, I'd be curious to see the answers.

We're at 6 and counting

Their work is.. actually pretty amazing. The Camaro pads they have done look better than the OER repros. You do send in your core.

Re: Dash Pad Factory Das Pad For Firebirds

BTW, I've got a near mint original dash pad from a 91 Firebird with speaker grills and end vents intact. Just not too sure about how to ship safely. In case anyone wanted to know...
