hello, i am currently fixing up the interior of my car and my dashboard is cracked an looks like crap, i need a new one. Anybody know of a place or website that sells new dashpads for less than $80. I bought what i thought was a dashpad off this one web site but what they sent me was a plastic shell that you glue over the pad. i dont want that crap. so anyone know where i can buy a real dashpad?

NEW dashpads are available from Porsche (600$+) Most of us use a nice carpet/cloth dash cover.

You are correct:

crap
The glue on things are close to worthless.

there are 2 different plastic dash caps out there, one looks good, the other looks like crap. i have the good one ( ebay years ago ) for like 40 bucks and you have to look and feel to able to tell its not oem. i can post pics tommarrow, if you want. i have even had people ask where and how much i pad for a new dash. the one thing i did was heat it up with a heat gun to get it to form to the ash try better.

Show us pics Aaron...

90% of the shops out there cannot get the transition correct from the gauge pod to the flat piece. It normally comes unglued within a few months of the sun beating down on it.

I had mine done at a local upholstery shop a couple of years ago. It was $150 to recover it.

Brad is absoleutely correct. The part from the gauge pod to the flat section will tarp. My shop tries to head that off at the pass by allowing it to do so originally, but that is just so it looks better. I have to disclose this to potential buyers so that they understand. Only one has had a problem with it, everyone else is thrilled.

Mark V, outstanding! If you could post more pictures I would be greatly appreciative. If it is better than what I can do I may want the guys address so that I can forward it onto my customers. I charge the same for a seamed and stitched version like the 916.

Chikenfajita, you can PM me and I may be able to give you a deal if I have a goup of stuff to do (which I am amassing). My covering info and pictures are on the bottom of my post in the link.
Where in San Diego are you?

The guy that did mine used super glue on those inside corners that have a tendency to "tarp". He also used a die grinder on the existing dash cracks & filed them w/ bondo before he installed the new cover.

I will take some more photos & post them.

Superglue and bondo, no shit. Well I had figured the bondo thing, but I will have to look into the super glue deal. I want to fix them to be even better.

Chickenfajita, PM me (click on my name) and I'll see what I can do for you. I like to go to Tecate and cruz Lyons canyon road back to Jamul. You are not that far.
