Not happy with OPGI dash pad

[Hank70SS]

If you don't work out something with Jay let me know. I do have an extra original dash pad. It needs work, a few small cracks in the vinyl but if you're looking to have one restored it would work.

If memory fails me that's the only major issue, looks like paint was touched before it was dry in one corner. It was painted at one point, currently black but was light blue. I'm just looking for a fair price to put towards future parts. If you would like more info/pics let me know. Just thought I'd put it out there as you were looking.

I found one thanks.

No problem. I'm glad you finally found something that fits properly.

Andy,

I noticed you also have an aftermarket SS dash. I recently switched from my original Malibu sweep to the same dash you have and my pad no longer fits quite as well as it seemed to on the sweep dash. Now you are throwing an aftermarket pad onto an aftermarket dash which just made the chance of things fittings absolutely perfect even less. Just my observations....

I agree. When I bought the two pieces I never even thought about things fitting bad. I wrongly assumed “new” parts would fit. Part of my constant learning process with this car.
