OER 14006175 dash pad reviews

Anyone have any experience with these? In the market for a new one and this one looks good to me and the price from Restoration Performance seems pretty good.

If that's one of the urethane ones I've heard not so good things about them. The price is about 120-150 bucks less than one much better. The problem with the urethane ones apparently is that they sag quite a bit and there is no support.

Re: OER 14006175 dash pad reviews

Ill pitch in my 2 cents. I've had 2 of them (different trucks) and I was pleased with how they looked. Both required a little trimming the sides to get it to fit right, but for the cost it was hard to beat. My truck isn't a show truck, just a nice looking DD/Weekend type truck, they are flimsy but once it's installed they don't sag hardly at all.

Im with ^^^^^^guy. Installed one as well and other than minor trimming, it looks great in my truck. Only one area I wish fit a little better around the dash bezel on the ash tray side. other than that it looks great. No sagging at all

Find you a good auto upholsterer. Removed the glue on cover and had him cover mine with the material he did the seat. Looked tons better and he only charged me $150 to do it.
