Dash / Instrument Panel Pad with A/C, *NPD Exclusive* for (70-78)

Received the dash pad within two days of ordering. It was securely packaged in a very heavy-duty box. It fits perfectly in my 1977 Camaro, and the gauge cluster fits perfectly, too. A great product!

Very good looking and fit nicely. A/C cars are a bit more difficult, if you haven’t replaced the heater core, do it while the dash is removed!

Product looks very good and is much more rigid than the OEM brand that I had for years, never installed and just sold. Hoping it fits well. I am very disappointed that you do not provide and clips to install with. Come on guys. This is nearly $400.00 and you don't supply a half dozen clips. That is why I am downgrading the review.

This is a 70's muscle car; everything was made to fit "sufficiently". This reproduction dash is not "perfect", but certainly fits just as well as the original on average. Some places my original seemed to fit better, and in some places this replacement fits better. Likely all depends on your car. Regardless, it looks good. Especially since it doesn't have a giant warp in the center. Plus this dash has 5 studs to hold it to the metal portion of the dash. I definitely recommend the accompanying installation kit with all 5 of the installation clips. I am very satisfied with this product.

Is a great looking dash. Shipped fast. Only problem is that it was the wrong one. Got the one for air conditioning and mine is not. Was positive I ordered the right one . Not blaming BPD. May have been my fault. Guess now I need to buy a vent to cover the hole.

Looks great but did not fit exactly like original. Left side of dash did not contour windshield post area well. Area of instruments cluster was a little off and bezel was not a great fit but I made it work. So not perfect but it works.

Dash / Instrument Panel Pad with A/C, *NPD Exclusive* for (70-78)

This is a really well built product and especially when compared to what else is out on the market. Stronger and dimensions are much closer to OEM than any other I have seen. The only issue that I had was on the very top when it fitted up to the metal part of the dash, it sticks out about 3/4" above the panel just over the driver side at approximately the area over the steering wheel. You can't see it when in the car but it's pretty obvious when you look inside through the windshield. Not sure if I got a bad one or it's the normal. Still much better than the previous replacement.

Thank you Bill! For readers of this review, please be aware that the slight increase in thickness on the leading edge, driver's side, is apparent on ORIGINAL GM pads as well. We copied every aspect of original GM pads when we developed the tooling, so that increase in thickness carried over. As best as we've been able to benchmark, it's "original". Rick, NPD

Amazing customer service. I had a small quality control issue (one of the studs for the clips was stripped) and rather than making me return the pad, they offered to send a whole new dash pad. The pad itself looks and feels extremely high quality and all of the OEM parts seem to mate up with it perfectly.

Nice product, and no complaints, I just should have paid more attention where it said urethane, which is like a rubber, but good product and it will definitely last longer than the stock dashes. Can’t wait to see what it looks like in my car!

Overall a very nice piece. Mine has some small imperfections next to the A pillar trim. Dyed it firethorn red to match the rest of the interior and it looks great. Should include the mounting clips and hardware for the price.

First, I do believe this is probably the best pad available on the market. The pad uses five mounting clips instead of 3 across the top where it usually warps. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this pad and I had the same issues that others described. The pillar posts don’t sit well on the pad, there is a gap, more noticeable on the driver side. I was able to minimize the gap by pushing up on the pad and in on the post. The gap may be due from the pad being molded from a 70 pad. When I look online, the pillar posts for sale are different for a 74-81 than a 70 (not sure what the difference is, I am working on a 74). The two screw locations above the instrument cluster are not threaded, so had to use self tappers, my original pad has threaded plastic inserts which also allowed for movement if needed. I also ended up with a gap on both sides of the dash, but was able to manipulate the top part of the kick panels to cover. The dash looks great installed now, but need patience to work it. I also believe the mounting clips should be included.
