I have this one and I love it.

The dash looks so much cleaner without it, and if you need access to any of the stuff behind it (And there's A LOT OF STUFF BEHIND IT!) you can get in there in like 5 seconds. BOOM! And it's done. They say it's "in stock" at Ecklers ??
Nothing.. It's a big foam pad.
I am told that a bunch of giggling GM Engineers put it there to frustrate my attempts at repairing anything on the passenger's side of the car as a safety device and as a placeholder because they were unsure if airbags would be mandated and that was the spot they were slated to go.

yeah. to be honest, and maaaaybe its just because the cars i tend to seekoit and refurb have been hacked and "adjusted" from oem shal we say, not in a good way, .....i actually like the crash pad. my thoughts are that it breaks ip and otherwise flat panel dash. As DT says is branded with CORVETTE on it in a car that otherwise doesnt say corvette anywhere inside the car unless you happen to have the sport seats and they are still oem, and even if tou do it's entirely subtle with the embroidery.
In fact, the breadbox is the only other hint that you are in a vette other than the c4 logo in the steering wheel horn button.
granted ive seen some crash pad replacements that have a big logo on them.
anyway, ill vote in favour of the breadbox, even if its not pre-sliced.
