I just had mine done and waiting to be painted. I had the speaker grilles smoothed out as well.

Re: fiberglassing a dash?

Hey SulphurDave,

Did you do the glassing or did you pay a shop to do it?

If you did it your self could you give us a walkthough on the prep.

I think it would look much better and the prce of a new dash is outrageous.

Regards,

Stacey

had a buddy that fiberglasses speaker boxes do it for me. then my body guy is going to get it slick as glass and have it painted to match my paint job.
