The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I sent my original to Just Dashes . At the time the price was about equal to what a reproduction new pad cost so I went with recovering my original as I know it fits the car. The only drawbacks were the turnaround time was a few weeks, and having to locate a long narrow box to ship it to them in.

God luck with Just Dashes - my experience with them years ago was that the price doubled between their receipt of my stuff and when they were finally done many months later.

Aftermarket dash pads, even for GM stuff, are a headache; even the $550 one I bought for my old K10 wouldn't fit even after a full day of trying pretty much everything but a hammer.
I bought it through Ebay, otherwise I'm not sure I'd have received a refund after $$hipping it back.

I hope so. for awhile, I heard consistent problems about their pads (all were 1970 e-body) were too puffy, stitching was not present, off texture. Have not heard anything in the last three years, so hopefully is was just a string of fluke situations.

I got mine back in 2010 and it’s still in perfect shape. Granted it does not sit out in the sun on a daily basis.

My neighbor came back in good quality after six weeks.
