Dash Cap for 87 Bird Reply #15 – March 07, 2014, 09:51:35 PM Thanks for the pictures. I learned something today that might be important. A rep from DashTop replied to an email I sent asking if their cover had a lip that slid under the cluster bezel. He said the DashTop does not. A rep from CoverLay replied and indicated their cap does have a vertical lip that slides behind the cluster bezel. My dash has a couple cracks in the dash right above the bezel. I think that made my decision easy. Quote Selected

Dash Cap for 87 Bird Reply #23 – March 13, 2014, 06:23:13 PM Vinnietbird,I didn't here from you regarding price if you were to sell your OE dash cover. Assuming you live in Admore, OK as it shows, I might be able to arrange for my nephew come look at it and keep at his house until I make a visit out there. He lives south of Norman right off 35. I may not be able to pay what it is worth, but won't know until I ask. Really haven't search much for an OE dash. I am sure they are rare. You could call me or text me at 765 278 8472 if you would prefer Quote Selected

The grain is a pretty poor matchI used whoever the color-matching seller was on eBay 5 years ago or so. The color for the two tone dash would have been close-enough, since it covers the old darker-red top area, but the texture put me off. I'd rather have a cracked dash than that hideous thing.

Dash Cap for 87 Bird Reply #26 – March 16, 2014, 06:42:29 PM I read somewhere that Stock Interiors.com sells a quality dash "cap". You may check them out. I don't remember where I read but supposedly the grain was a very close match. Quote Selected
