Default New dash reproduction

I found this dash on ebay and had to share it here because it was a perfect fit and has all the fasteners just like the original. My dash was completely trashed and had a cover glued to it and just looked like garbage so I ordered one of these and the fit is amazing and looks original It only comes in black so if you have a different color interior you will have to paint it to match.

I bought an ABS plastic COMPLETE dash top replacement (NOT A COVER) and it fit amazingly well. Looked factory. But after 3 months it started to warp from the heat of the sun and thats with a complete windshield sunshade any time it was parked.

Lets get a report back in 3-6 months to see how it holds up. Hopefully it does....

Right now I have a Dashskin cover....$109.00.....but it fits perfectly as a complete replacement. So far, after one year it looks perfect with no heat warping.

I had one of the Firebird Central ABS dash top and the center defrost section began to deform slightly. Eventually I replaced it with a good used OEM dash top and it hasn't cracked yet.
