Where's a good place to buy a new dash cap for my 84? Mine has some really deep cracks in it, I'm looking for either an entirely new one, or a plastic cover. Not a rug, mind you. I found one here, but it's kinda pricey...

One on Ebay, a tad cheaper

After shipping and handling, the Ebay one is cheaper. Might just have to bite the bullet on this one...

I thought maybe the Coverlay cover would be cheaper from JC Whitney or somewhere, but it appears the factory is underselling their dealers. I guess Coverlay is trying to run off their dealers. :giggle:

I got my dashcap from the Ebay guy. It came with a tube of silicone and looks pretty darn nice. I can say I recommend him.

Apparently Accu Form has dash caps for our cars, I didn't know that. It's 72.97 shipped, hope that helps.

Cool, 70 bucks is better than 102. It also has good reviews.
