E-Body = $$$$ ...and this is one of the reasons...does any one make a dash cap? Other than that be prepared to spend some coin, unless you get lucky and find a deal from someone selling an accumulated e body stash. 71 and up are a little less spendy, but 70? Ahem... It looks like replacements are $500-$800 and up depending on where you look which isn't bad. I'm looking for a lesser expensive option that seats tight and looks clean.

Get a dash cap, about $100 and from 10 feet no one can tell the difference Is there a certain company you would recommend ? I've looked at them and really can't tell a difference between vendors by looking at their photos

I think your only option is a new pad. You have chunks of the pad missing and it also appears warped. A dash cap is a good option if the basic structure of the pad is fine...you can install a cap but I don't think you are going to like how it looks. Plus you already have the pad out of the car...the hard part is done! We sell a nice ABS pad that is not crazy money that would be a good compromise.

Good points - the warpage along with missing pieces does concern me as far as how any overlay product it's going to fit. Like I said I am not doing a resto but I do want it to look good. You have 'dante's parts" ? I'll go check what you have.

Just keep an eye on your vin tag, providing it's still there. It's in a safe place
