There's some good Black Friday deals out there on restoration parts
I would agree with you IF a rallye dash bezel wasn't $495.00 .....that's a lotta coin! , I purchased one and the paint had Bad runs in it and top it of with the fitment issues that have been reported and that's No deal :protest:
I agree, the quality needs to be better, and thats why you return it when its crap. The minor things with my dash bezel i corrected because they could be easily corrected. And yes there was a small gap between the bezel and where it screws to the diecast gage housing not seen when the panel is installed. I used aluminum metal speed tape to close it up to keep dust out of the gages.
Yeah sure $495 is a small fortune to deal with imperfections. Yes i agree it sucks!!! However your other 2 choices are to get your brittle 45 plus year old original repaired and replated, or pay $1,000 plus dollars for an NOS piece of plastic, if you can find one, and in the configuration you need for your ride. A/C, non A/C, 67, 68,;69, 70, 71, woodgrain, or plain. Thats a lot of combinations to luck on the exact right one for your car.
I wish the quality was better on aftermarket parts for our cars i really do, i farted around and fitted mine as well as could be done as they arent perfect, and am fairly happy with it. Just hoping my taillamp lenses and lens escutcheons are going to decent, as this stuff sure costs enough to buy.
Another case in point the 67 only dash pad for my car. I wasnt going to spend a small fortune for a one year only dashpad. I went with a repop 69 to 76 pad in black.
