Looks really good Loren!  If you approve, I'm sure nobody will be disappointed!

Any ideas as to what the price is going to be for a dash pad from them? Mine is shot so I'll be needing one but would prefer not to pay a just dashes price for one if at all possible. Thanks!

I do not have an exact figure as of today.  The retail price will be under $500 though.  Once the original 16 pads are done, I am thinking of having a few more done in order to have a reasonable turn around.

If it had not been for the guys that stepped up to get this project rolling,  this would not have come about.

I want to thank all those individuals for helping to get this accomplished.   :cheers2:

Hi Everyone,

  We got home from the trip to the Great up North last night a little after 10:00 PM.
Waiting for me was the first dash pad from PMI.  This morning, I took it out of the box and bubble wrap. I've looked it over and will say, it was worth the wait for the corrections done to the mold. Grain is correct and looks excellent!

I removed an original pad from one of my cars this morning and did a test fit. Before removing the original pad, I took pictures to compare to the new pad for fitment.   In my opinion, we could not have gotten a better product.

Since I was out of town, production was held up for a few days.  Alan told me they will start the run next week and start shipping them.

 Price will be $425 for black, plus shipping and a good core exchange.

Add $25 for color change
