Title: I feel violated
Post by: Buick_65 on April 13, 2016, 01:26:12 PM: Quote for my dash and two arm rest pads from Just Dashes.

$1475. Ouch.....

Anyone have any experience with their finished product?

Post by: GS66 on April 13, 2016, 06:56:30 PM: I needed a new one in blue for my 71 Challenger and that was $1000, seems like that's what they cost. Although black for that car was a couple hundred less. Good luck!

The other good thing is that the used ones can be dyed with SEM Vinyl dye. Not a difficult process.

Post by: schlepcar on April 13, 2016, 09:23:25 PM: I think that is the irritating part....a whole Pontiac dash for $800 or just the skimpy single pad like ours for the same or more. You can buy the 67 style for half that and they are larger in size.

Post by: WkillGS on April 14, 2016, 09:25:28 AM: Mike (65GSNut) had a '66 pad done by someone else. Had a different grain to the vinyl but otherwise excellent results. Maybe he'll chime in.
