It's ALOT more orange than tan. No biggie for me but if you're looking for a specific color it might be a disappointment going from the web pics. I posted pics on the YT member gallery if ya want a peek. The fit was fantastic. It reqired trimming a bit and getting it in was somewhat of a PITA but the end result was outstanding. Now all I need is to get the seats and door panels done.

that looks real nice. i think i'll go with a new carpet. i was just looking for a dash cover but that is sweet. i like the color too. good job

I bought a perfect dash a year ago for $250. It had a carpet cover protecting it. Now it has a big crack in the center. I did some research on Just Dashes and came up with mixed reviews. Even if you have a crack free dash the edges will be pulled out and not line up with the cluster, vents, etc.

So I decided to make my own. I took the vinyl off of the original dash and ground down the foam. After that fiberglass & plastic fillers. The shape is roughed in and I will feather fill it today.
