Mine wasn't perfect either, however it IS good.

My Ram was a low mileage ram that I planned on keeping a while (and still do). People getting into my truck do not notice that it isn't the stock dash, I do, but thats only because I know.

For the price, I don't think you can beat it. IMHO, it looks better color matched to the factory color. Some of the parts you can see in the pics where the factory dash shows you don't notice when its the same color.

I tried color matching, but the parts counter guy had his head up his **** about the colors. The only color he could find was mist gray.


Well the dash ain't mist gray. The a pillars and door panels are, but the dash is a darker gray and the parts guy couldn't find it in the computer. So I went with a black and painted the upper half of the dash black so it would sort of fit in. It wasn't until later that I found out that there was a "just gray" I could have tried, but the thought of pulling it all apart just to paint it isn't that appealing considering the work it took putting it in there. I'll live with it from the next 5 years until the 2014 model comes out.

Actually I think yours is one of the worst fitting ones. Most I have seen fit extremely well.

I laughed when I read that. And I don't know why! Anyway, thanks. It's been a rough day, I needed to chuckle.
Peace.
