FWIW - JD total cost = $1,335.
Breakdown as follows:
Dash Restore = $1,100
New Emblem = $35
Extra Foam = $150 (wanted all new foam anyway, plus I gave them a bare steel core).
Cut Side Speaker Holes = $50
Rush Service = ("No Charge" since I gave them cash when I dropped off the core).
No tax.
No shipping (since I dropped off and picked up myself. I live 30 mins from JD).

UR pad was $1,100
Pad = $800 (with Cuda-Challenger member discount)
Core Charge $200
Shipping = $100

In the end and IMO, the extra $235 was WELL worth it.
