any one have input on the quality and fit up of these? they are manufactured on a abs frame and for $500 seems not too bad versus recovering price.
Thanks

I wouldn't touch them. Nothing fits and looks like an original, a redone original frame piece is the solution most of us have to do. The abs frame ones really twist and distort.

go with the metal frame or wait for a clean original..abs is a bad fit and look...but then again if you get it cheap enough..it's better than a beat up one... and sure is better than a cap...

I sent mine to Just Dashes and had them make my air dash pad into one with no a/c single speaker. 70 challenger with stitching in black cane back way better than I though it would be Perfect work.
They said the may swap my metal dash core for a non a/c one if need be but that they may also be the same. All I know is when the box came back from them it was top notch work

Just Dashes is going to cost you about $900, plus there's shipping,...IIRC they still purchase used cores for $30-$45...I have one of Carolina's dashes (70 Cuda) very nice fit/finish, IIRC about $650 delivered, Carolina will buy used cores for $60
