Dash Pad options...

we all know that fourth gen dash pads are crap...is there any other aftermarket company that makes a decent dash pad???

I gave up. I bought a carpted dash mat/cover. I tried one from Year One but didn't like it (didn't cover the air bag) and on top of that it didn't fit! I then got one from Classic Industries and it is pretty nice and fits well. $40 I believe. If you want a black one, the part number is 02100B

You can buy vinyl and fit it to the dashpad yourself- no need to buy a "kit"- won't be that expensive, either. Only problem will be fitting around the defroster vents. Might take a little custom work to get it to look good there. You can get it in pretty much any color you want.

If you were to recover the dash with some black vinyl, what would you use to put it on? I was thinking some double sided tape, but I am not sure how it would hold once it got really hot inside the car.
And for anybody who is thinking about doing this, you will need more than a yard and a half of material.....thats how much I bought and it just doesn't cover the whole thing, theres about an inch on each corner.

It would be possible to put leather/suede on it as well. I imagine it would be a little bit more difficult to do since it won't stretch as easily as vinyl, but since it's a fairly flat piece should come out fairly good. Suede would be really nice though, it wouldn't reflect any sunlight into your eyes.
BTW I got all my ideas from http://www.leatherseats.com/. They sell most of their stuff by the foot/yard for custom projects. Someday I'd love to wrap my interior in leather. That graphite/black plastic looks like junk IMO.
