    I'm getting ready to buy a dash cap but so many companies sell them. I need to know of a good place to buy from and that looks close to original.

    They all come from the same supplier, just find the cheapest one on Ebay.

    Does anyone make a complete dash pad, not just the cover???? Ours is pretty cracked up. Would be nice to replace the whole pad.

    No, our dashes are not re-produced.

    As Dave stated, all the dash caps are made by the same company so just search for the best price if you go with a cap. They are a great alternative if you don't find a good used dash.

    Expect to pay from $450-$550 for Just Dashes to restore your dash. They do a nice job though.:)

    They seem to do a good job! That will most likely be one of the last parts i buy and put on my car.

    Called Just Dashes for a quote: $600 plus shipping both ways. Not in my budget so I guess a cap will have to do.
    Thanks for the responses.
