My dash in my regal is all cracked so i tried finding a dash cap that covers the dash 100 percent and makes the dash look new.But they only sell them for montecarlos so has any one put a montecarlo dash in a regal and had any problems.
 
I did the opposite in my car, put the buick dash in my chevy (I couldn't find a chevy dash). Lots of extra b.s. Mounting tabs have to be modified slightly, clips moved to diiferent tabs, harness rewired to work with the "new" cluster, head lamp switch is different, rear defog may be in a different location with a different switch, wiper switch (depending if it's in the dash or on the stalk) may be another issue, glove box should be used with it's original dash (will fit, but not latch properly), and there's probably a few other things I had to do, to make it fit and function properly (did it quite a few years back). It's possible, but I would leave it to a last resort.
