I'm trying to decide what to do to my dash. Carbon Fiber, Woodgrain, or metal. Show me yours.

Don't have a pic, but mines woodgrain, and just ordered new console, center and driver dash panels.. (new)... so trying to decide on either carbon fiber or design some metal inserts....

The prior owner of my coupe installed cheapo plastic wood grain dash panels. Unless you get a decent quality overlay product and do the install properly, don't bother. Mine were coming unglued and were cracked in a few places. He didn't even bother to remove the headlight pull switch and instead cut the plastic panel so as to slide it around the headlight stem! Dumb! Anyway, I removed the plastic, removed all the glue residue from the original panels, and sanded with 800 and 1,000 grit sandpaper. I sprayed with a plastic primer and then several light coats of semi-flat black. It starting to look right again, finally! Good luck. :cheers:

OK, here you go
1st pic is what came with car :skep:
Second pic is black carbon fiber kit, but not the right shifter plate for my car :smash:
Sent it back, months later got what you see in the 3rd pic. Not the color I wanted, but they explained the first kit they sent me came from another company and the one they sent me is their black :smash: Thats freakin more grey than anything. Anyway after 6 months of bull crap with them I said I'll keep it and move on. Well after installing most of it I found the gauge panel did not fit the openings perfect. :mad
Well I phoned them again, and told me to pull the gauge overlay off and add tape to where the carbon fiber should extend to.
So now their trying to put the original black kit together with pieces that fit :crazy:
8 months and still waiting for satisfaction... Do not buy from the Autoaccessorystore based out of Staten Island :smash: :smash: :smash:
The end is near I hope. Enough whining, Hers the pics

The previous owner installed the burl -- at first I wasn't sure I liked it. But now it has really grown on me...

Save the money, keep it stock, you will like it better in the long run. :chevy

Thanks for the replies.

This is what I ordered. It is completely black (not carbon fiber or woodgrain). It should look like stock, only newer and shinier.

Where did you get it and how much $? Mine needs replaced.

Bluevette85

I got it on ebay from Tracey Performance $165 shipped. They said it was the only one for 84-85.

By the looks of it , that kit would fit up till 87.
That the same layout as my 86.
Where is your OD switch ?
