    OUCH! I guess if you're going Concours...

    If ours is $600, imagine what that Olds dash costs.

    I was thinking of having a local upholsterer cover it but I have more important things to worry about than the dash cap right now.

    I also watched the video. One of my friends mentioned them a while back and I wrote it down. I never called them but they do look top notch.

    Just talked to a local upholsterer he can recover mine in the factory blue for $40.00. Actually i have a spare one to give him to do.

    But he was not 100% thrilled with the way it came out. They did not give the front edges enough attention and they got a little rounded. It still looked awesome, though.
