I went with UR through Nick. Here's a picture of it installed. I am please with how it came out. And it was great to have Nick in the loop to make sure things got done.

Has anyone got a current opinion on the dash pads.
I need to order 2 pads for 70 Challengers and it appears the Ultimate Rides pads are the best ones to buy.

I need one for a 70 Challenger too.

I am currently working on a complete dash restoration and the owner already had the dash pad done by UR. The original dash pad was kept and a core frame sent for restoration. I had the lower dash trim paint matched by a Sems dealer from the back side of the kick panel. Take a look at the fit. Even after some trimming, there was nothing I could do to fill the gap. Needless to say, the owner gave me the go ahead to paint the dash pad to match, so I had to do the whole Sems prep and paint.

I wouldn't be allowed to write here what the owner said when he saw this.

I will let the pictures do the talking.

You are right on the money with your complaint, was that pad done
in 2010
2009
2008
2007

It looks like a late 2008 to early 2009 pad.

Nick,

I really feel bad for this guy. I believe he had that done about a year and a half to two years ago.
