    Plus the higher priced one has a "Heavy Item Surcharge" added to it :cry:

    Can't understand how Maverick 2 dash caps could be different from one another- have you contacted them :huh:

    Do you know if all they have is black? I need one too, I've been wondering how it looks. I'm ready to buy one but not sure what to get. I also need carpet if any one can tell me whats the best buy for that.

    The cheaper one is Accu-Form. That's the one everybody here has used, and it's a pretty good piece. I had one that I ordered from JCW on my car until I found my good dash pad. This other one, "Palco" is not one I've heard of, might be a new product!

    The Palco brand has a massive amount of colors available though at an additional 24 bucks......good news for all those looking for a color......just click on the available color list. Looks like 20 plus colors

    I watched the video of them restoring the complete Olds dash and I was amazed at how nice it came out - better than new. Our dash pads aren't that big - wonder what the cost would be :)
