Thoughts on a dash??? What do you think?

I bought a dash online in great condition and for a price that was amazing. HOWEVER, during shipping, it was dented in a spot. So rather than bitch about it, I changed it. I added an Emblem Pros Last of the Breed stainless emblem. I think it looks pretty damned good.

Thoughts?

Other than bad pic quality - seriously, keep them small. It was an old iPhone with no light or flash!

Can you get a shot from further back? Maybe standing outside the driver's door looking in-wards at the entire dash?

I can go as far back as I want. It is sitting on a chair in our bedroom! I haven't installed it yet. I'll get some better and further back pics tonight.

if the foam is "dented" it will come back if you let it sit in the sunlight

If I am being honest, I am not a huge fan.

That being said, way to turn lemons into lemonade.

Here are a couple better pics. They are still on an iPhone, but at least the new one has a better camera. Sorry for the mediocre picture quality, my wife's camera battery is mia.

Looks 'out of place' to me, ...
Let the dash sit in the sun & see if it comes back to its natural state.

I had a dent in mine for over 8 years and it gets pretty warm in Georgia in the summer time...it has not popped out yet...doubt that it is going to happen if it hasn't after all these years.

The dash/gauge pod looks more out of place than the emblem does. Keep the badge; I don't hate it. I'd prefer to see what it looks like with everything installed before passing final judgment though
