    I strongly suggest you get Jays permission before posting anything he wrote. Its copyrighted and he has been known to get upset about it in the past. Just a friendly alert.

    Man, that skirt looks nice! I'll have to save up the scratch to get one for myself. Looks like a real quality piece.

    Update. I got my dash skirt from Joel on Friday and it looks great! Need to do some other things before I'm ready to paint and mount it up but at least it's here.

    I posted this a few days back in another thread. Carl hasnt responded yet;
    >>>> Carl,have you installed yours yet? Kris and I were messing with the ones I have here today. While they do look nice,they dont fit exactly correct. The corners are slightly off and it will take some work to make them fit flush against the dash like Vic said. The upper edge is a little off so Vic used bondo to make the one he used look nicer. The end curves are going to be the hard part to deal with as the skirt itself seems to be about 1/4 inch too long,leaving gaps in each corner. Additionally Im thinking about 1/8 inch needs to be trimmed off each end lip,which the lip in itself wont be a problem but the gaps will be for the perfectionists in the crowd. This is not just a direct bolt on and forget it propduct. It will require some work to get it to fit.

    I haven't installed mine yet, got many other irons in the fire (updates soon). I understand what you're saying Tim, but I don't remember ever getting an aftermarket fiberglass part that I didn't have to massage a little to make it fit. If I don't have to, all the better! I'll let y'all know how it works out.
