Z-Noob Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I am looking to either buy a ligthly cracked 240z dash or intalling a dash cap on my dash. To make my decision I am just looking for pictures of dash caps installed. The more detailed, the better. Hopefully with pictures I can make my decision more quickly.

OlderThanMe Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 If I were to get a dash cap I would get the full one. I'll get some pics of mine that I am not using. Mine had lots of black sticky two sided tape on the inside but was pulling up a little on the far right bottom side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Noob Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 280zforce...Thanks!! Thats exactly what I was looking for. The cap dosn't look 1/2 bad. I think I will go for the full cap myself. Olderthanme..Yeah post those pics...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzcars Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Here are 2 pictures of my full cap. to tell you the truth you realy can't tell it's a cap. For a perfect fit Follow the directions to the "'T". only apply the silicone on the perimitor of the dash. store the cap in a cool place, if you hold on to it for longer than a month. The dash cap shrunk a bit in the heat in the back of my pickup truck. Oh and one more thing ,I would suggest to remove the gauges ,heater/ radio pod and the windshield/ defroster vent cover so you can get the cap to fit snuggly on the dash. and a couple of well placed black screws to hold it in place while the silicone sets. I hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Here are 2 pictures of my full cap. to tell you the truth you realy can't tell it's a cap. For a perfect fit Follow the directions to the "'T". This is also how well my dash cap turned out on my 260Z when I had it. I didn't remove the dash completely, but rather unbolted it from the chassis and brought it backward a few inches. I also followed the instructions to the letter and had a great result. You can't tell if it is a cap when it is installed correctly. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Noob Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Fastzcars..Thanks, that is what I was looking for..and the pushbutton start is iceing on the cake, cause I plan on doing that also.

Sven Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Fastzcars and DavyZ, are all the caps out there the same? Fast, your dash looks perfect. Where did you buy it? If my 240 dash ends up looking like that, I'll be ecstatic. It came with a terrible looking half-cap. I thought they all went bad in the sun. Thanks for the tips.

It came with a terrible looking half-cap. I thought they all went bad in the sun. Thanks for the tips. I bought mine from *gasp* MSA. It was great looking from the get go and looked great even after a few years. I sold the car a few years later so I'm not sure how it is now, but I suspect it still looks good. Remember: full dash cap. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
