I'm thinking of buying one of the dash pad 'caps' for my '66 Belvedere.
I've never seen one. Just how tolerable is the fit, quality and looks of these things?
Thanks!

I looked at a cap for my '65 Barracuda, it was a vacuum formed hard vinyl shell that fit over the existing foam pad. It was nice looking but didnt feel correct, obviously, but the look was nice. It secured by an adhesive. at 70 bucks, it looked great, but wasnt in the budget.

I have been looking for a solution for my Challenger dash and found this: http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/howto/5139_dashboard_rebuild/index.html

Its made by a company called Accuform Plastics and for the E- body its around $125. The article claims they are similar to original in feel and look. I'm going for it as soon as I can justify the cost

I put one in my old 67 Barracuda fastback. Fit was not real good, but from the passenger compartment it looked good enough. You could see how it didn't fit well though the windshield.

I bought one for my sig car but never did install it. My dash is cracked badly so I figured anything will be an improvement. It's hard plastic but hey not like that vinyl on my stock dash is anything close to stock after 35 years of the sun beating down on it.

I had one for my old 70 Cuda and wound up selling it. The fit was very poor, required lots of trimming and just didn't fit quite right. Also the texture was almost smooth compared to an original pad. Put the $ from that towards a new pad, you'll be much happier in the long run.
