Rallye dash switch panel facia
« on: September 01, 2014 - 09:58:55 PM »
Can a 3 hole re-pop facia fit correctly over a 4 hole switch panel or does it need to be a 3 hole? The car should only have a 3 hole as it's a hard top and does not have a rear defroster.
My gauge panel wood grain is in nice shape. I acquired a 4 hole switch panel with so-so wood overlay as the price was right and included 2 switches that I did not have. My thought was to buy "matching re-pop wood facials and recover both. Gauges and lenses are in very good shape cosmetically.
What do you think I should do?

Thanks, John :cooldancing:

All of the plastic panels have 4 holes... The aluminum facia will be the only difference..

Thanks, good to hear. That simplifies things a little.
Are the re-pop woodgrain facials of a good quality?

Word on the internet is the ones from Performance Car Graphics are the best, I bought mine From BEA when they were the new hot thing since prior to that all we had was decals.. With mine they look pretty good but if you look close you'll see the pixilation as it's a computer generated graphic..

Also I hear the PCG ones are pre-bent to fit the dash, the ones from BEA are flat...
