I bought an Ultimate Rides pad for my 71 Challenger from Dante, and it was great. The E-body pads they do are nice, but make sure to specify one made on an original steel inner frame. They make some with a plastic frame that I have heard will warp over time. Also, save the little plastic thing that the Challenger script sticks into on the passenger side of the pad.My pad didn't include that, and I had to hunt one. Cut into the pad around it with a razor blade, and then clean it up before you glue it to the new pad

Just Dashes is the best in my opinion.
I went though 2 of them from the other guys and they were bad.
I ended up sending my original to JD's and they did a great job. They even included a new matching color speaker cover.
UR is good if you are on a budget and not to picky.
Just my opinion.

I got my 71 Challenger dash done by Just Dashes (befor to price increase) after seeing the Ultimate Rides dash on a friends car . The edges of the pads by Ultimate Rides pads are uneven and do not mate to the plastic trim on the sides as well leaving a gap that does not look rite to me. OK for a driver, but if you want the best it can be is a NOS pad(good luck)or Just Dashes.

Just Dashes is the only place I will use. We originally got one from Year One. It had a plastic core and would not even fit on the frame. I would be embarrased to sale one to my worst enemy. We sent it back to Year One. At least they did take it back.

A little more money, but the Just Dashes piece fits and looks awesome.

Man, I'd hate to see what the worst one looked like...UR must be slipping...They were'nt too bad at one time...But I use Just Dashes so there are no suprises...
