Dash Caps

[Harts56]

I have a 70 Challenger convertible that the sun is beginning to take a toll on the dashboard.  Not sure if I am ready to spend $600+ for a new pad.  Has anyone tried these dash caps that run about $100? 

How do they look?   If you have one installed and can post a picture i would appreciate it.

Thank in advance!

I have had good luck with the fit of the dash caps for A bodies but horrible luck with the ones for e bodies, they dont fit and look wrong.

I'm in the same boat. Does anyone know if there are multiple vendors for these caps, and if so, which one is the best?

I agree , they do not fit well or look right

better than a cracked pad but pretty noticable.

They do look better then dash cracks but the thing I found most annoying is the speaker grille doesn't fit at all

Great I'm fighting with one right now!

I'm not sure if there is more than one manufacturer. I do know there are different grades. I have used them a handful of times and it's a shooting match on fit especially around the vin plate and speaker hole. For a cheap pretty it up, go with the cap. Remember it's only temporary. Good luck.

Me too...   It really just makes me want a real dash cap

If at all possible I would go with a new dash    if you plan on doing it later anyway like I was, it ends up being worth it.  The pain of removing one is just as frustrating as putting it on.

Well, after reading what some of you have gone through already I think I would rather do it once and do it right.  It will cost more, but the frustration of doing it with the cap then with the real dash may be well worth it.

Thanks for the input!

I test fit the cap.  Looks like it will work ok...........Won't be long before it goes on............

Please keep us informed of you progress, and what you run into.

And, don't forget the pics!

Even the best quality dash pad replacements will have some fitment issues. Nothing fits like original.

My cap is a non air. it fits good enough to just leave it on there until i can afford a new pad. besides...then mayby someone else can use it
