Yes Jerry, that was factory for 1985-86 cars with the Canyon Red interior.
The 1987-88 cars with the Scarlet interior had a Dark Scarlet top.

So you just put it on the old cracked dash? mine is BBBAAADDD! i was wondering if you have to do anything else but glue it on the original cover? and trim it a bit.

Tpuppies and glue - color dye if you get one that isn't dyed. Some require pretty much no tpuppies while others need a bit more.

I didn't realize at first that that grey dash on the of the red was stock. Even if I could get and replace all the plastic pieces, I think some areas of red might still throw through from the dash itself. I really don't mind the look of the red/grey (or black) combo. I like it better than the solid (minus the two tone dash) red interior.

My mirror is the same way except for the crack in it from my boxer hitting his head on it jumping in the car wanting a ride. I dont mind the diffrent texture its still 100% better than a cracked one .

WOW!!! Thats good to know! I always thought someone had painted mine before I got it!

And yeah, I cant wait till I get a hard cover. Anything looks better than this warped, faded, fugly toupee.

The last picture is how it sits normally :yuck:

P.S. (ignore the stereo wires under the dash lol)
