Make your own. This is made from a 1/8 inch oak sheet from Lowes and covered in a piece of fender mat and painted/interior dyed SEM Landau Black. I did this about 2 years ago, doing fine still. I questioned doing this cause I'm all for originality but I like it a lot, glad I removed that stupid thing. Ive heard the kit is cheesy for what it costs.

I'd leave the breadloaf alone, but it's your car. Enjoy! :cheers:

I removed mine on my 86.Bought the kit. Its a real pain in the but to due.The kit says to cut the brackets with hack saw. I took it out in 1 piece.Have to take dash pad off.Bottom bolts suck.But I think it was worth it.
