dash pad cover from Brothers Trucks

I have been looking around the different threads about dash pads and covers and such. I see that Brothers has their dash covers for $99. How do they compare to the ones from lmc and other companies that sells them for so much more. I also like the fact that these already come pre-painted. Please let me know what do you think or if you guys have ordered these before how do they fit and what do you recommend. I have already changed my mind about buying a new dash pad cause i refuse to spend 300 dollars on something that might not fit the way i want it to.

Re: dash pad cover from Brothers Trucks

I have a dash pad cover from some company I can't remember the name. It fits well, but no matter what I use to "glue" it in place it doesn't stay. I will eventually buy a new dash pad. I don't care much for the cover.

But your willing to pay 100.00 for something that you already know won't fit well? The general consensus is the dash pad covers are a compromise at best.

Re: dash pad cover from Brothers Trucks

I absolutely hated the dash "cover" I had. The darn thing looked worse than the cracked dash. But, a friend of mine has one that looks pretty good.

Be advised the dash pads (not the covers) from Dashes Direct are junk. Save your money and buy the correct dash pad, you'll not regret it.

Re: dash pad cover from Brothers Trucks

I'm thinking of getting a cover for mine as well. But, I found out from a guy at a gas station that had a square body, that Brown of Three Rivers Wisconsin has a dash pad kit. Has anybody used a "kit"? Has anybody even heard of the company?
