Repairing and restoring my dash. Finally have all the holes and cracks repaired, New texture finish and painted. Now the old Dash Insert makes my new job look old.

Anyone know where a good ole poor boy can get a new insert? I see on photos there are a couple options. Wood grain, black, aluminum etc.

Will also need the light system since mine has seen better days.

Thanks J

They are no inserts though, they are overlays. They go on top of your existing panel.
I have the brushed stainless one, looks a lot better.
But it's not real stainless...well I guess it is, it's stainless foil on formica or something

They are brushed aluminum.  Stainless would cost a bit more.

My insert is solid and in one pc, but looks worn from all the years.

What about Vinyl Wrap on it?

Numerous options. and not to costly
