I'm not doing a restoration but I do want it to look good. What did you do on your dash ?

This is what I'm dealing with.

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.

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

Just keep an eye on your vin tag, providing it's still there.

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.

Yes, I saw that last night. Price is good, too. Once I finish installing the firewall and repainting the dash frame I'll be ready for the dash pad. I'll be in touch. Thank you !
