Default Dash Pad

Has anyone used the coverlay dash pad? it glues on to your existing damaged pad. How did it fit / look? any warping after time? I see they are about $160.00 or so with S/H..

I dont know about the fbody ones but I put one on a 07 Chevy truck and I was impressed. Theyre thick so they do stick up a bit but the lips where it curls down are longer so it blends in and looks factory. The color and texture were spot on

If you can find a good stocker local SEM can change any color you want to the color you need.
After the last deer hit with my car set off the airbags I got a blue dash pad out of an old cop car and sprayed it tan, looks perfect.

I bought an excellent condition used one for not a whole lot more than that for my T/A. I'd hold out for a reasonably priced stocker for the additional ~$40-50.

Thanks for all the info, thats what I was afraid of, buy a pad cover, it looks like crap then wished I would spent that extra $100 bucks for a good fit and look, I'll keep looking for a stocker

Im scared of buying a stocker and then it cracking just like my old one. I park my sun out in the hot sun and cold winter everyday. Does anyone have pics of the Pad overlay or the carpet overlay in their car?
