+1.

Thanks for posting up the before and after pics to show us all.

That looks fantastic! Nice seeing your installed CHP equipment. Is that the smurf gun that you painted?
Yes it is.The radio and CC1 was sent to me from the Boss...has been in the car awhile now.
Andy - Thanks for adding the link onto the thread too!
see sometimes i do post useful things here
I have been also working on a F150 stepside truck and will be getting a Dash Cap
for it also. Somehow I just can't stop looking at it! really makes a Difference.
Some would say that you should have
replaced the Dash. but from what i was told the Replacement dash does not fit correctly.
I don't know? But at this time i Can say......If you can't tell the difference.Why pay the difference?
here are a few more Pict.

Looks great!

I had one of those dash carpets on my very first Mustang, an '83 GLX hatchback. It needed it. It was the only choice back in the early '90's.

I've been waiting for a good repro dash to be made for my 86 Capri. My dash doesn't have near the monsters lurking that Andy's had, but it is discolored a bit from the sun. Thought about painting or replacing, now I'm considering a Dash Cap.

Thanks for posting Andy. Looks great.

Matt,

You are going to need to look around for other members with an SSP from the same jurisdiction as yours. Andy's 85 CHP was most likely equipped differently than your SSP. Once you figure out the correct equipment, then the hunt begins!
