Cool Dash Pad!!!

I am not sure if this has been posted before, but I couldnt pass posting this pic of the coolest dash that I have seen for "our" trucks...

I, for one, had not seen this before, and personally I think that it would look better without the gauges...

Oh, I guess I have given the site I found this at too, huh? Again, I am not in any way affiliated with these people I just think this is a cool product that some of us might like, I am not trying to pimp this for them...

wait till you find out what it costs. they are on crack IMO.
The full vinal would cause some nasty reflections on the windshield.

Yeah? Well, their site does not list the price, so I kind of figured it was pricey. What is it that they are charging for that big piece of foam?

Seems like every week some just notices that dash.

Longhorn, how bad do you think the reflections would be? I'm trying to think of other year/model trucks with full dashes and whether they produce reflections that interfere with a driver's vision. Also, 67-72 windshields are more upright than most later model trucks with full dashes. So, I wonder if that would make a difference, good or bad.

If it has a satin finish on it, it wouldn't be any worse than any other full vinyl dash pad.

Myself, I see all kinds of reflections on the glass of every vehicle I drive. The late models are the worst, however, I still see plenty in my truck.
From the factory. they were concerned about reflections...if you look at the top of your dash, it should have flat paint. This was becouse the glossy paint caused too much reflections in the glass.
I personally think that even a matte finish would still reflect too much. I know my black dash pad is way visible.



Maybe it's just me.
