Cool Ye Olde Cracked Dashboard

I just recently bought a 95 Z28, my first Camaro and I'm really geared to start working on it. The first thing I'd like to do is replace the infamous cracked dashboard it has. I'm interested in totally replacing it, not putting a cheap dash mat or trying to glue it back together half-assed. Has anyone replaced the dash successfully and if so can you provide instructions? I'm looking all over the internet for instructions but haven't found anything.

Thanks.

Front where the defrost is. I'm going to check appearance in the meantime like n2ceptor said.

It just snaps in and has a velcro type stuff holding it doen...pretty simple fix.

Sometimes you can find them used but they are pretty expensive new....I think around $170, I just had to buy one but I got the part number and found one on ebay



Welcome to the board

Thanks for the info and the welcome, dude. I'm about to order one on eBay and I'll document what I do and let everyone know.

Check www.gmpartsdirect.com before you go Ebaying. I just ordered one for a 97-99 firebird, and it was like $146 shipped to me. Cheapest I saw on ebay was $150 plus shipping (for new).

You save a few bucks, and gmpartsdirect is a pretty dependable vendor.

Its $186.50 shipped from GMpartsdirect, about the same as it is for one shipped from Ebay.
I am in the same boat, mine was a Florida car and the dash pad is in multiple pieces.
