cracked dash
 

Any ideas of where to buy a replacement dash? Approximate cost?

go to zcarparts.com and i do believe they sell stuff that you could just put over it and it looks brand new over the factory i got like a carpet thing over mine so its all good

Dash cap
 

JC whitney sells a perfect dash cap for the z cars for aprox $100 plus shipping

page 98 stock #wb784690af for 89.95 but only for the model w/o sensor....whatever that means...

the # is 800 529 4486. ordering mine this friday. ^,^``

That means it doesn't have the hole for the temperature sensor for cars equipped with the automatic climate control. Though of course you could always drill the hole anyways.

a brand new dash ill cost you around $800 or so but a dash cap ill be less than $100....

take it out...fiberglass it...could be a good solution..you can cover up what you dont want..or add more guages and whatnot..

for all you guys planning on putting the dash cover on, make sure that you prep your dash before appling the cover, especially if it is a plasitc cover. it doesnt really matter much with carpet. if your dash is severly cracked, then take a razor and cut out the sides of the crack until you are left with a flat surface to work with. and the best way to get a really good looking final product it to take the dash out of the car. it is worth the extra effort. if you dont cut the old crap off the dash , then your new cover is going to last about 1 maybe 2 months before it cracks where the dask was cracked. i went through 3 of them before i realized what was going on.

The instructions that came with my dash cover from MSA said exactly that. I followed them (yes, I did read the instructions!) and my dash cover has been fine for the last 4.5 years.

My dash cap warped one hot afternoon. Warped really bad. I'm gonna try another one with a sun shade but if that fails me, it's time to get a completely new dash.

Have any of you run into problems around the gauge cluster area?
