Check this post out:

Are they "good", if you are NOT interested in a restoration piece. Their fit isn't perfect, in comparison to a GM original. The look fine for a replacement dash. I can post pics of the ones I have mounted if you want me to.

BTW, I have them, and they are $200 + $20 shipping, but they aren't listed right now.

Re: Dash Question

Try ebay.
I just looked and there's a nice used black 81-87 style oem dash pad for $110.00 ("Buy It Now" price). I bought mine at the local dealer for just over $200.00 about 6 months ago.
