Has anyone had any dealings with Romeo engineering. They make interior parts. I was curious as to the quality of their components. Thanks

Not a big fan...they made my dash pad for my '61....wrong fit in several places and I had to 'fiddle' with it a whole bunch to make it look decent...

Still sounds better than the NOS pads from GM that I've installed. They were absolute garbage.

If you aren't drawing Social Security now, you might be by the time they ship your order

If you need it 6 months from now, you should have ordered it already.

Ok, I'm exaggerating a little, but you get the idea.

Had a friend buy one of there C-1 dash pads`and got mad at me for the lousy fit....He said Al`s was too expensive It looked good immediately out of the box. But that's all....the grain was wrong and the fit was horrible, only was the color right...{Red}....it didn`t take him long to get it and he probably picked it up rather than pay shipping....My opinion, it was a piece of crap


I would not put there dash in my Vette

Its too bad because I like to see more than one "first class" vendor for older vette parts...but I paid a price in time and aggravation when I used the Romeo Engineering pad instead of paying a few more bucks for an Al Knoch product. Every time I 'cheap out' on C1 parts I regret it...
