At least the phone number (877-327-4723) is no longer valid. 1.) Has anyone ever tried restoring their own Dash Pad (repairing the cracks, filling in and painting) ? 2.) Does anyone know if Ultimate Rides is still in business and is there a good contact number or email address ? Thanks in advance Mike

Since my dash pad is cracked too - I wonder what the issue is with the ones that are offered on the market??? Are they bad or just not correct? After all these years having a 440 I realized that this means having an attitude... and a budget.

Yes with the cheap vinyl repair kits. Fill the crack, color match the plastic, apply and iron. They never lasted more than a short time if you get the pattern grain matched. Don't bother 2.) Does anyone know if Ultimate Rides is still in business and is there a good contact number or email address ? Nope, I used Just Dashes with a steel core I provided. The dash is very nice, orange, 3 speaker with air. The only issue is the stitching is not great. Thanks in advance Mike
