Is that top pict in the first post your dash cap? It looks nice, what brand is it?

Dash top? I put it on years ago and attached it with left over butyl tape.

I am interested if you want to sell it. You probably have a box that might fit it

Removing the metal part of the dash makes installing Mikey's new top way easier, as all the studs are exposed and easily reached. Also a good opportunity to fix / replace the dash vinyl.

It does take some time to get the metal dash out, and there are two hard to reach nuts behind the air ducts, but I think it's still a bit faster and definitely less painful than attempting to put the new dash top on while in the car.

cuddyk: Interesting idea that makes sense, might as well redo the dash vinyl so it doesn't look bad compared to the nice new dash.

Got the dash done and it looks great. Then this happened. After sitting on Mikey buys its time to install from the stash!

Looks great, but while you were doing the new dash, why didn't you do the front part of the dash?

I actually did it already. Hard to see in the pictures. I didn't use adhesive and it looks like crap until I press it down and tuck it in.
