Dash Cap
Has anyone bought/installed one lately? I was looking for a good fit.
Here's one that wraps underneath, but it might cover the maplight?

looks like a nice piece though..

Re: Dash Cap
it's just vacuum formed plastic. if you read "how it's used" it's just an overlay. you don't pull off your original vinyl.

Re: Dash Cap
I have one and you can trim out the map light area.
Just don't park you car in the sun all summer long. It will wrap.

Re: Dash Cap
Got mine at the Columbus Mopar Nats a few years ago. I like it but did not get it from the eBay seller.
Shipping should be cheaper then $55.
I would look at Year One and many other vendors.
Cheak the Mopar magazines and check prices and shipping first.
The eBay one will cont to appear over and over again.
I don't remember who made mine.

Re: Dash Cap
i believe i bought mine from JCWhitney. think it's an accuform (?). anyhow, mine does not wrap around where it would interfere with the map light. i wasn't completely happy with it, as the studs for the passenger side dash insert weren't long enough when adding the thickness of the cap, so i had to trim the cap
but, it's a lot better than having an old cracked dash - i was embarrassed by it - now it basically looks like the dash in my mustang.

Re: Dash Cap
I tried Legendary, they were out of the caps until January. They were also getting me for 60$ to ship it! It is an oversize, according to them. I cancelled the order (backorder) to go look elsewhere. Got LOTS of other goodies from them though..

Re: Dash Cap
Your lucky you dont live accross the border as they only will ship UPS and UPS charges a "documention fee" and an additional brokerage fee. COMPLETE scam. They must be making a killing surprising people with this. /rant off
I find Year One expensive and then when you add UPS shipping onto it, I go out of my way to buy elsewhere. Put it this way, I had to buy an Air Grabber air cleaner lid and it ended up costing me over $300 Cdn. Ive seen them for $80. Ya I'm a little PO'd

Re: Dash Cap
I did get the one on ebay. other shipping options got the shipping down to 19$. fedex ground took about 4 days. He must have shipped it same day. It is an accu-form. and it does wrap underneath, the maplight area is cut out. looks good, I'm going to try to install monday or tues.
