Dashtop by Northcoast Musclecar
« on: April 15, 2009 - 07:25:33 PM »
Has anyone used dash covers manufactured by Dashtop or had any dealings with a company called Northcoast Musclecar?  I am considering purchasing a dash cover for my '70 Cuda.

Dashtop makes a lot of the hard mnolded plastic parts & they fit OK but you can easily see they are on the dash

Are there better caps available out there for a reasonable price?  I'm not prepared to invest in a replacement dash yet.  This company is asking $94 for the cap.

CP you say they are easy to see that they are on the dash.  Can you elaborate on that a bit.  I have yet to see a cap on a car so I have no idea how obvious it would look compared with an original.  I have, however, heard people say they are pleased with the look of them.  Maybe I'm better off putting the money towards a replacement.

It really depends on how picky you are. If your doors are open, you will notice the cap doesn't match the paint of the lower dash frame. The cap has a hard plastic feel to it. Obviously the grain won't match an original dashpad, but it doesn't look bad. I had one on my car for a couple of years before I upgraded.
