Finished Dash Cap
« on: November 02, 2012 - 01:10:45 PM »
Just finished capping the dash, think I should of just drop the $$$$ and had it redone/replaced but it will work for now waiting for the car to return from paint and body only so much budget, plus I had the cap all it cost was tube of black silicone.

My dash had a cap on it when I bought it. It looked OK, but I never was fond of the plastic feel to it. I have since sent the dashpad out as a core when I bought one from Ultimate Rides.

Give it some time and see how you feel about the cap. Maybe you won't mind it at all.

I put a cap on mine and it cracked the first hot day it experienced. Hopefully yours lasts longer!
Mine was Accu-form.
