got mine from dashcoversplus.com but don't pay the $10 for the "dodge ram reimbursement program information" crap. with everything said and done, I was $284 shipped. That included both pieces, colored to match the interior. From what I saw, they look great, but I've only been able to test fit so far. Haven't put them in, yet.

if these are the same as the one i got off ebay for my dads truck, you glue it on, i put one on my dads truck and it actually looked great. i was skeptical, but after est fitting and putting it all on and letting it dry, i was surprised. you have to look around some of the edges on his to see where it didnt quit line up, but for the most part, most everyone who would ever get in it wouldnt know the least.

Yep, it only took Chrysler about eight years to admit (to themselves anyway, you still won't get any public confirmation) that the materials used in the dash would basically disintegrate when exposed to UV. Problem is pretty widespread from the first 2nd Gen to roll off the assembly line up to the very early '04s. As soon as they built enough '04 inventory to use up the '03 parts, the issue seems to be non-existent.

Do a search, either here or in the General Discussion section. Was a guy who got Dodge to pony up and replaced the dash on his '03 for free not too long ago...
