Re: C2 Interior Radio Panels

I don't know anyone who 'restored' his dash by installing fresh eyebrow covers over the old originals! All I know of removed the worn out originals and installed the replacements directly to the underlying dash surface...

Dave, did you install the new covers over the original ones yourself? I'm going to be at that point in a couple of weeks and would like to hear any comments you have.

The Corvette America replacement pads or skins call for the new skin to be put over the old without removing the old skin. Supplier instructions were followed.

Ah, skins!

Most of us don't mess around with 'skins' because they're prone to fitting poorly and 'bubbling' if you don't get the underlying adhesive dead nuts uniform. BUT, they are cheaper than removing the original pads, cleaning the underlying dash surface installing fresh repro pads and re-riveting the end tabs....

Jack,

I had a professional install the skins. He's done this before. Even with his charge this was substantially cheaper than new dash pads.
