Default Anyone ever use those plastic dash-plates?

Just wondering if they work and if they look good? It's only 128$ or something like that and would look way better than my damn cracked dash. Input and opinions?

Think he's means those plastic type, press on, dash covers.

I can only guess that they would make those annoying creaking noise, with it being plastic on plastic, and all. Remember seeing something about them on some TV hot rod show, as in advertisement placement and buy this product, type of deal. Never been in a truck/car with one, though.

Ya you can buy them on lmc truck or whatever its called. They have 2-sided tape and fit right over the entire dash board, and look like a stock dashboard. They look pretty snazzy. Just wondering if anybody has any experience with them

awesome! did it cover EVERYTHING or was there a gap between the very front where the dash meets the front panel?

Is it a pain to install or does it go in relatively easily?
