Default Main Dash Pad

The dash in my C5 is potentially going to need to be replaced for various reasons. I’ve searched on eBay and found several for sale but an uncertain of the quality. One of the main reasons I want to get a new one is that mine is splitting apart pretty on the sides and the grab handle is sagging dramatically. It’s more of an aesthetic reason. Are there any recommendations on where to source one?

Good used is the only source. Unless you can find a local auto upholstery shop to recover one.

I bought a good one some time ago on the parts for sale forum. AES corvette parts has a non-hud and a couple of hud units, but $250 each -- plus shipping. Similar pricing at Vettenuts. I'd say post a want to buy on the parts forum, and see if somebody has a spare hanging around.

They run about 250+ on eBay. I got scammed on one so be prepared to fight to get your money, plus shipping back if it goes south.

I tried all my local junk/salvage yards but the have 0 corvettes, my guess is they sell pretty well to places that part out corvette parts so most local places will sell them to these places for guaranteed money.

if you find a place with a good deal and/or quality please let us know!
