    Default Need help. Who makes these dash pads?

    Hi everyone, so I bought some dash pads online from a private seller.
    They are both new but have no markings on who the manufacture is.
    I've attached some pictures, hopefully you guys can help me figure out what brand or who makes them.

    I believe there are just 3 dash pad types
    1. Ford, obsolete
    2. Dashes Direct, urathane and floppy
    3. Dashes Direct, urathane with a sheet metal insert.

    Of course #1 can be recovered for about $600.

    Sounds like I have #2 and #3
    Any way to tell if this is version 1,2 or 3?

    1 is vinyl wrapped foam with a plastic core
    2 solid urathane no core?
    3 solid urathane with a sheet metal core.

    So for sure I have the 3rd version as I can see the metal support.
    It also sounds like I have the 2nd version as it feels heavier than the one with sheet metal.
    Thanks for all the info.

    Yes I do, I had a perfect OEM dash pad but it was tan in color and I couldn't convince myself to paint it so I sold it to someone who needed that color.
    I have 3 other cars that need a dash pad so I will be using them.
