I'm not getting anything to see other than a GBF "Oops!" page.

Actually I did one on my dash. Only as a last option. Between cost, and the condition of the available ones out there it seemed like the only decent option. It's not perfect by any means, so if your doing a show car quality restore, I'd go another route. If your just looking to make it look better, or just a street car that rips, and aren't concerned with perfection.... it's a big difference. Just takes a lot a lot of patience, tape, glue and trimming. Go for it if ya just need a better but not perfect look.

Thanks for the feedback, just looking for some option on how to change the color of my dash and interior trim. the dash is in really good shape my problem is its blue and i'm changing the interior of the car to a factory color buckskin, are palomino color. i know some guys wrap their dash but i just don't like that look. i'm also considering dying the dash and trim pieces.
