Default Well it finally happened

A nice big chuck of plastic fell through my dash. About the size of a football. Now it looks like a jigsaw puzzle that some one threw a foot ball through the middle of it. When I pulled the plastic out, it crumbled in my hands. My grandfather's nasty peanut brittle that he ate all time was stronger than this cheap plastic crap.

That sucks Bob !!

On a bright note though, everyone that I know of who's gotten a dash from here has had nothing but good things to say about it

DASH

Yeah I'll get pics.

Hey Mayfair, I think I am going to get a black dash cover and one of those black grills from LMC, what do you think?

Honestly Bob, I think I would order the dashboard from a company who specializes in replacement dashboards. Both the Coverlay and the one from LMC appear to be priced close, so I'd probably go with the Coverlay.

98-01 Dodge Ram Pickup Dash Cover 22-802L Save 10% when purchased as a combo [/align]


[/align]Fits:
98-01 Ram 1500 (with airbag)
98-02 Ram 2500, 3500

This dash cover is custom formed to the exact shape of your orginal dash. It is installed over top of the orginal dash, and is held in place with silicone adhesive (provided). The installtion can usually be completed in 30 minutes or less. No special tools are required. No orginal parts need be removed. Dash covers can be purchased in several standard colors.

However, exact color match can not be quaranteed.

Buy Now!


Price: $136.30 [/align][/align][/align]

Although now that I look at it, it sure does look ike LMC's is pretty much the same thing.

I'd probably start by calling LMC and ask if it isn't LMC who they get the covers from. It very well might be. Either way, I'm DEFINATELY digging the black grill idea !!

I didn't even notice it when I bought my truck that it has the cover on it- It took about 3 months. I can only imagine what it looks like un there being in the Texas sun for 7 years. Mine matches up very well and the color is perfect.
Good luck Bob!

I have never ordered from LMC before but most of the people I talk to say that they generally don't sell junk. I was thinking hard about buying the black grill, then I saw where they only charge for oversize shipping one time, so really I'm saving an extra $20 if I get it from LNC.

Yeah, I'd give it a shot. Just check Coverlay for that other piece first. It looks like they sell another piece that LMC doesn't offer. Just make sure it's not a piece that you'll hafta order later.
