Id say if youre not handy with a trim tool it is difficult. I had a local mustang shop do mine, I wasn't about to take my windshield out and scratch the paint by the trim. By show quality do you mean concourse or custom? Any dash pad you get will be close to concourse. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CalBear</b> <br /><small>Member # 6178</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,5,16,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Concourse (car is stock) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Jimbo</b> <br /><small>Member # 1456</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,8,9,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Since your going the stock purist route there should be no question spend the big bucks on a NOS dash pad. I bought an american made reproduction and even with that one I wasnt too impressed with the quality. As far as doing it yourself goes, if you take your time and have an eye for detail it should look fine but, if you try to rush it you could ruin that expensive dashpad you just bought. Might be a good idea to find a shop thats done a few, could save money in the long run. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Joooestang66</b> <br /><small>Member # 2828</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,8,13,58,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> FYI, you probably want to replace your headliner if need be at this point too. To do a dash pad or headliner install correctly so it looks good, the windshield has to be removed, also the rear glass for the headliner. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
