Default need a dash pad!

And GM wants $420. Anyone have an idea of where else I can get one for a somewhat reasonable price?? The last one I bought years ago was $160 surely someone has them for less then GM.

Get the 6LE part. I think it was 120 bucks and should be the last time you replace it.

Its a cover but since its ABS plastic it should look pretty decent and last a while.

What 6LE sells is the Coverlay pad so if they do close up, you will still be able to get the covers for a long time to come. I have one myself, just have not gotten around to installing it yet.

Can anyone give any info on the 6le one? Does it appear to be a good product and how is the fit and finish?

It is the pad from Coverlay MFG as stated above. You can check out the details on their site.

Here is a thread that shows some good pics of one after being installed.
