dash pad core
« on: January 14, 2008 - 11:52:21 AM »
i am thinking about getting a new dash pad, maybe not even until next year, but i thought id see if anyone has a spare frame/ rough pad to trade in. im not looking to spend a fortune b/c its just getting turned in. if i have to i will use mine, i just kind of wanted to keep it in the car til last minute.

Do you know where you are getting a new dashpad from? Year One and now Ultimate Rides don't need a core because they make their own out of ABS.

How do they fit?  How are just dashes?

Sorry, I can't speak for the quality or fit. I was just passing along info. I know Chryco doesn't recommend Just Dashes.

I was in your boat once. I paid $25 for a sorry looking dashpad on E-Bay. Another $40 to have it shipped here, then another $40 to ship it to Ultimate Rides. So that ugly core ended up throwing another $100+ on the cost of my new dashpad. This is just something to think about.
