    I haven't seen what's on ebay, but if your talking about the hard plastic covers that glue on over the original pad I have one made by Accu-form Plastics that I bought from J.C. Whitney some years ago. You have to look really hard at it to know it's not original. It very precisely covers the original. Untill recently I didn't even have it glued down, just snapped it on.

    I have one on for about 6 years now. They look so good most people cannot detect it unless they get into the car and look. I also come thru Whitney in the dark Ford blue.

    dash cover

    I have used two of them and am very happy with them. And like bmcdaniel, I haven't glued either one of them down. They lock in place very well and they look awesome. The most recent one I got was from eBay for $46.00 plus shipping. I have a couple of nice original dash pads but these are so easy to put on I just had to try another one.

    YES

    They are selling them in black, or they will have the manufacturer send you some color samples to match so you can buy it already painted from them.
