Holy Crap!
I have a Gold Dash pad in my car... Crack free... I'm nutral on the idea of gold interior... its not bad, i kina like it, but its not my dream interior. if this thing sells I might think about selling my gold pad and putting a plastic cap on the cracked black one in my parts car.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks a little discolored.  My F8 green dash has some cracks but the color is consistant.  Who knows, maybe it's just the photo.  This thing might be perfect and it better be for the starting/buy it now $$$.

I think you were being kind with those words. It looks VERY discolored/darkened to me.  note the brighter color where the speaker panel would overlap the top edge of the pad. Now, i am not going to talk trash about someone elses part when i dont know the facts. However,  it has been my experience that when a pad gets that darkened, that the vinyl is usually very very brittle.

Yeah, that's kindof what I was thinking, just giving the benefit of the doubt.  I gotta physically see stuff I buy off of Ebay for that much coin.

That pad looks just like the one someone was selling on Ebay a few weeks back for $400.00.Maybe someone bought it to try to resell it for more money. :icon_smile_blackeye:

I doubt Just Dashes charged $1200.00 to repair one.  Good advice..don't buy a used one.  I think Ultimate Rides is going to do them.  We need to push them to do it instead of Just Dashes.

 :iagree:  The $1200 part sounded like BS to me also. Last time i checked with Just dashes, the price was $500+. I doubt their prices have doubled in the last 2 years.

I agree, it looks very hard and darkened(dried out) by the sun.  I wouldn't want to buy something that old for that kind of money  especially being so dark. but someone will.

I wonder if its the same guy who sold the Cuda' Jack for $280 dollars. :ahum: :down:
