My dash pad wasn't that bad but I thought that since I was so far into the car that I might as well get a remanufactured one. I bought one off from ebay and it was a real piece of crap. The right edge didn't even show the recess that flows around the front edge and that curve didn't seem to have much foam left under it. It was as if they just covered some nasty old dash with vinyl. Their ad said that they use all new foam. Also, it was 3/4" narrower than my other pad and the front edge was crooked when put up to my old pad. It was just terrible workmanship. The vendor said that I must have had a Charger pad because of the width difference but it's the same width in a Belvedere that I also own. He also blamed the poor corner on damage from shipping although the box appeared undamaged. I will not name the vendor in the open forum but will in PM. dashpad 001.jpgdashpad 002.jpgdashpad 004.jpgdashpad 006.jpgdashpad 007.jpgcamp 005.jpgdashpad 005.jpgSomeone will end up getting this dashpad and I don't want it to be one of our forum members. He did do the right thing and refund my money though. Check out the pictures and tell me what you think.
 
That is an absolute crime. They should not be in business long. A six year old with blunt scissors, super glue and some vinyl could have done better.
 
That is a total pile, not quite as bad as the ones the year one sells(non-metal cores), but I was fortunate to get one from Carol at Carolina Superdash that was very good quality, however, I'm not sure if she is still doing business at the moment.
 
Made in America is why... a Chinese one would be flawless.... we reap what we sow..
 
I new dash pad is on my future list of projects some day. After seeing that I think I may just send the old one to Just Dashes. I can't believe a reputable company would see something like that.
 
I got mine from Mike: B/E & A Parts - Michael C. Ross

Mine looks just like the factory intended..It is a really good job.
