Replacement dashboard for 96'

Posted

I'm going to be purchasing a new dashboard after the first of the year and I'm looking for some input. I know Geno's has one for $330 and LMC has one for $220 that includes the vents on the side. Does anyone here have any experience with either of these replacement dashes? Obviously I'd prefer to go with LMC due to cost but don't want it to bite me in the butt down the road. 

ETA: Found an OEM replacement for $230 free shipping. I've heard the OEM replacement dashes are now made with ABS plastic but I'm not 100% sure. I asked the seller about it so I'll see what they say.

I used the LMC dash and installed it about 3 years ago. So far so good. the color matched and it looks just like the parts it mates u to. But as I remember after the large part charge and shipping you will be much closer to $300 than $220 unless the price has come down some.

Mine was also an 02 and not a 96.

    Total from LMC would be $267.70, and $348.74 from Geno's, so it's an $81.04 difference. That's a pair of Dana Spicer ball joints lol.

    I asked the seller of the OEM dashboard if they were now made with ABS plastic and this was the response I received: "They should be made of the same material as the original, which is plastic." So, obviously this place has no idea what they're selling. 

    LMC replied back asking for the part number which I forgot to include in the original email. I'll post up what they say. Oddly enough when I checked their site just a few minutes ago the dash is now listed for $259.95 before shipping instead of the $229.95 it was yesterday.
