It depends on how **** you are. I installed one on my truck, and, while the Coverlay people did a damn nice job with thier product, it still doesn't mask the fact that you have something over your original dash. I would not show my truck like that, but, then again, I would not show my truck. I epoxied the hell out of my dash and slapped that baby on there. Savings over the dealer's remedy went to hp.

 

My dash is not quite as bad as yours was just yet. Yours turned out very nice. I will remember the little tips of adhering the cracks and then sanding them down before applying new cover. I think I might try the coverlay so I don't have to paint it to match. They have them in the color I need and if I have to make a few minor adjustments I can live with that.... Is there any difference in the 2500 dash and 1500 dash when it comes to the cover?

 

I was watching too much HGTV when I tried to blend my stuff. Just get your stock color and paste her down.

 

Nope, Doesn't matter. All +'98 Dodges had the same dash, 1500, 2500, and 3500. At least I think that was the year they changed.

I went with the Geno's dash as Coverlay is based in TX and I would have had to pay taxes. They both appeared to be basically the same.

 

You think some of that two part epoxy sold for plastic at the auto stores would be better for adhering it than what comes with it?

 

Right on- if you know what vibration does to those chknsht ddge parts after .5 runs

 

They make this stuff called Amazing Goop that they sell at Home Depot that works well. I think it's in a blue and red tube. The really hard epoxy might have trouble with hot/cold expansion and contraction. The Goop stuff is more like rubbre cement on steroids.

 

I will have to go by there this weekend and check it out...

Thanks for all of the great infor and when I get the new dash I will post pics...

 

I quoted a 97 dash and the total was 1,195 bucks not including TX tax...nuts.....
