    This isn't really an appearance mod, but I'm wondering about something, and this looked like the logical place to check.

    I'm looking at a Firebird, that is $4K. The only thing wrong with it, is a somewhat worn looking steeringwheel ring, and a cracked dashboard. How much would a cracked dash cost to replace?

    I think just sticking a ring over the 'wheel will make it look good again. Thanks!

    Dash pads go on ebay anywhere from 50-200 bucks plus shipping. That's the prices I've typically seen.

      A new dash from a dealer is gonna cost you around 200 bucks because thats what they wanted for a new console in my camaro. Try ebay or a junkyard...it's much cheaper that way.

        Thank you much.

        Do you guys have the T top, and is it worthwhile? I mean, I kinda want a T top one, but I don't know if I'd want to pay the extra money for it.

          I got one without t tops... and have regretted it since. I wanted t tops originally, but opted to not get them because of the price... and wish I had. I say definitely go for them if you want them

            The thing about t-tops is they're either perfect and everything you expected, or just more of a hassle and you regret the purchase. T-tops tend to leak with age and new weather stripping isn't cheap. I'd much rather have t-tops also though.

              Hm. Does someone have a picture, showing the T tops from the inside, as well as a regular roof? I can't find any.

              Also, with them off from the inside, would be great, too.

              Again, thanks...

                  eh, i thought they were great but theyre not. i ended up not getting em, cuz i found a car 2k cheaper than anyone else was charging. the one thing i would of benefited from them the most, would of been no roof waxing :( lol

                        Camera exposure looks to be tricked - there's blue sky out there, and the camera amped up the exposure so much (apparently) that the tint isn't readily seen.

                          When I bought my Firebird, I wanted one with T-Tops, but bought one without.
                          Solution?
                          I did the conversion myself.
                          Mind you, I must get my butt in gear and buy a new headliner.

                            My Oppinions? Unless you're willing to do the conversion down the road your self, or you're look for a serious sleeper/performer... T-Tops MAKE these cars... untill it starts raining...
