    Can someone recommend the cheapest decent dashcap available for a maverick and where to get it?

    I have always bought the Accuform brand dash cap. They look really nice!

    JC Whitney sells them, as well as a few other suppliers.

    Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and pay the price. They sell on e-bay 4 more than 50. good luck

    So the quality of the Accuform is pretty good?
    This is for the pad...not a cover for the pad?
    web site or phone # please.
    Thanks.

    I have the JC Whitney Accuform on mine. Fit is good. In fact I just snapped it on over a year ago and never got back to glue it down. Still looks fine just laid in place. I know a lot of people want real dash pads - but I have used several of the dash caps on various projects and I've always been satisfied. But then again my Mav has been painted PPG Epoxy gray for over 3 years now.:slap:
