Re: ignition scratch guard
That's kinda cool. Never seen one before. Good way to cover up already scratched dash too!

Re: ignition scratch guard
Looks like a single gauge holder turned upside down..
Nice idea.. other than what will it look like in a year? scratched up. I used plastic dip on my last truck.. when it was looking hagared, peel and recoat.. Might get this, and coat it to match the dash.. |

Re: ignition scratch guard
Wouldn't it be easier to just have one of those little barrel fittings to detach your ignition key from the rest of your ring?

Re: ignition scratch guard
I think I will use the 3M clear plastic protective film around my freshly painted ignition bezel.

Re: ignition scratch guard
Below is a picture of my "scratch guard". It is not only effective, it also stops the keys from rattling around and is period correct. It's called a key case.
 Pretty hard to find them like this these days though. |
