Default New Dash ???

Since Every One Seems To Agree That The Replacement Dash's That Are Avaiable Out There Are Not Of Very Good Quality.
Does Anyone Have A Recommendation On What To Do??

I haven't needed to replace a C3 pad yet but one alternative is Just Dashes in Arizona. http://www.justdashes.com/Index.htm

They will replace the foam and remold new vinyl to your existing foundation so if your pad is original GM, you know it will fit when you get it back.

I couldn't get them to email me back on one for my 82....I heard from other members they aren't doing C3's anymore.

I have had both dashes from Corvette america and all knoch....both are similar in quality ( not as good as original, but will get you by)

The Al noch dash cost me quite a bit less.....thats the one thats in my car right now

I would try calling, a lot of vendors don't have the resources to keep up with email. Sometimes it's best to communicate the old fashioned way.

Has anyone bought a dash from Willcox Corvette? I will be replacing mine and wondered if theirs is a good product. They have it listed pretty reasonable.

Thats where my first one came from....it's a corvette america brand. They were actually cheaper than corvette america but I haven't had the best of luck with thier (wilcox) customer service. I sold that dash on ebay and bought the al noch version.....it was $80 cheaper than my first one bought from Wilcox.

I bought a dash pad for my 71' from The Last Detail (don't know who made it) and it fit well and looks great.

Keep in mind where ever you buy your dash will have to be the same place for the rest of your interior pieces, so the color will match.
