ahdoman Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Anybody ever install one of the dash caps? I'm not talking about the carpet that sits on the dash but the actual dash cap. If so, where did you get it from and what shade of red did you order? Also, any pics or installation tips? This is what I'm talking about...

Click on the interior pic. Look by the gauge cluster and you'll see how it kind of wraps around. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahdoman Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks. Any idea if the color of our interiors is called something other than "bordeaux"? I have yet to find a dash cap with that color name. Is there a color number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobsShelbyDakota Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 This guy is selling them on e-bay and he says he can make them in maroon or red, which should be pretty close the the actual color. Maroon dash cap Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon dash cap Bob I would agree that maroon or burgundy would be close to the oem bordeaux color. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahdoman Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I spoke with one (I assume there may be more?) of the manufacturers; Coverlay. According to them the dashes aren't molded in the colors. They are molded in black and then painted. I might as well get the paint local and get it color matched. Also, the dash molds are taken from a good dash so the cover is larger than the original dash. They said the skin is rather thin so you need to smooth and fill cracks that are in your existing dash so that it fits right. Otherwise you will end up with the cracks showing through as lumps.
