Dash Pads
I was just getting ready to buy new dash pads for my 65. They were about $275 each in all the catalogs. I just got my new Corvette Central catalog and they are now about $475 each. does anyone know why the huge price increase?

Call Al Knoch Interior and see how much it costs to have your originals re-covered. Al does that...I thought it may help. 1-800-880-8080
The cost increase is relative to the amount of plastic (which it is basically all plastic) used in its construction and seeing how it is crude oil based, there is your cost increase. many of these companies bought there supplies when the prices were at $4+ a gallon for gas, (probably fearing that the prices where going out of sight) and now that it has come down for us at the pump, they are still holding onto stock that is at a higher price. It may take some time for it to go down....if ever. OR...they are just trying to survive the economy like many of us....and having to charge more...because many others are doing the same. Can't upset THE ALL MIGHTY STOCKHOLDERS.
