If I want to put a hard dash cover over my dash, do I need to remove the dash in order to install the cover.

No, but it needs to be thoroughly cleaned prior to installing the dash cap. Don't deviate from the instructions that come with the cover.

I just wiped the dash of dust & poped the cap on. Fit so snug there was no need for glue. Figured that was good cuz I might wanna take it off & recover the original. See how it fits before using a tack.

Where did you get the dash cap that fit so snug?

yeah, what he said.

"Accuform" or "dashcap" brand?

Some guy on Ebay had it still new in the box. I can't remember the name of the manufacturer however, I can "Pop" it off & see if it's printed on the inside for ya.

I was amazed something like that fit so well! got it for somewhere around $35

I just got mine from Tweeks. I popped it on to see how it was going to look and it fit so good that I didn't take it off.
This winter I am going to mount it on my spare dash and do it properly but as for now, only me and some Porschophiles can tell.
