I see on 50resto.com they have dash pads but r they just a cover or a full replacement? I want one with the speaker vents in it. My current one was recvoered and the vents r covered up so the sound from my speakers arents getting out and I want a clean stock look

They have full dash pads and just covers. Coves run $80 and the full pad runs $200 or more.

I ordered one for my 85 asc mclaren capri convertible from California Car Cover and I like it. About $80 =/- if I recall.

My dash did not need it but I wanted protection for the future.

i got my new pad from FMR and i got to say i can't wait to get it in,looks perfect(stock)to me.i did see that in the box was an ad for their supplier it said they were getting the original ford tooling for the pad,so i'm wondering how much different it will be than the one i just bought???whatever i'm happy looks o.k to me

Yes. You can drill holes in your cover too. You can make yourself a template on the computer or whatever, tape it on and then go to town with a drill...

I've ordered both, the cap looks O.K nothing too special and it looks the worst near the a/c controls. the real pads fit pretty well, but the holes for the speakers were different on a couple i saw.
