    LB69... thats a dash cap not a full pad and $42.00 for the top and $42.00 for the lower pad (2 pieces on the lower) that is at cost (what they charge their dealers) But it looks as good as a full pad and you have to look very close to tell it is a cover.

    71 cuda340... Ya I love bring them back from the dead, its more satisfying than eatin' worms ...LOL

    LB I'd think about that one.  Carpet on the dash went out in the 70's.  If you have your mind set on that  . . . . use a good berber instead of that old shag to bring it into the 2000's!!  j/k  Can't find a pad for your car??  :ack:
