88-94 dash cover options

[Crookedaxle]

Has anyone used anything other than a carpet dash cover? Overall my dash is in decent shape but there are cracks on the top flat surface around the defrost vent. I'd like to just repair the cracks but realize that I'd probably be chasing them for the rest of the time I owned the vehicle and I don't know how good it would look anyways. Has anyone just covered the top of the dash with a textured plastic piece, leather or vinyl wrap of some sort? Is there anything a guy could brush on like a light bedliner type of product? I really don't want a full fledged carpet dash cover at all.

LMC Truck sells molded plastic covers that you glue on over your existing dash, no idea how well they fit though.

Fortunately the original owner of my truck installed a dash protector (carpet), so the dash is crack free. I did replace it with one from LMC Truck. Used a bit more velcro to give it a tight fit.

Yea there's ton of the molded plastic covers available, they're about $100. They fit decently as long as your dash isn't severely cracked or warped so that it had a good surface to adhere to.

I don't think I've seen anything here other than a carpet dash cover so I assumed that's all that's out there. I'll look into those. Thanks guys.

Here is an example off eBay. This one is black so you would have to paint it to match. You can buy precolored ones however.

The guy I got my lift from got a piece of aluminum and cut it and made some tabs on it.. then he covered it.. came out sweet... here's a few pics of it..
He was able to get real speakers mounted to it to. It looks better in person, but these are the only pics I have of it... I have no other info or dimensions on it.

You can also flock your dash. Fix and repair the cracks first then flock it. It's seen a lot in rally racing to get rid of glare from the dash. There's tons of info online about doing this if it interests you.

That's pretty flocking cool! Thanks! I also have a 1982 300D Mercedes that this process would be good for.

That’s probably one of the best dash covers I’ve seen as far as custom not generic/ mass produced.

I have a camouflage fabric cover that I saved from my old dash before I did my dash swap.
