    How do you tell the Difference in dashes

    I understand the Fiberglass, but how would I tell the difference in the ABS version versus the Vinyl padded? Thanks

    Padded is just what it says. It is covered with vinyl and has a foam pad underneath. All the rest are one material and hard to the touch.

    Thank you, I was wondering, because I ordered the padded and what I received is hard plastic. I will contact FFR to see what the deal is.

    It does appear I received the base plastic dash and door panels, anyone know what the upgrade cost is if swapping the plastic for padded when ordering the kit. My kit originally came with fiberglass dash and door panels. Thanks

    $300 gets you the padded dash and door panels.

    The website says $550:

    818 Vinyl Padded Interior Set
    Price: $550.00
    SKU: #80811
    Weight: 8.00 LBS

    Is $300 a quoted upgrade at time of kit delivery?

    That's the out right price from buying them after the fact. Their upgrade pricing when you order a kit is $299:

    80808 - Vinyl Padded Interior Panel Set ($299)
    818S - #67 (SOLD IT!)
    Delivered: 18 November 2013

    OK, for $300, I probably would have got them with my kit, but for $550 + shipping now? Nope. I've already got my dash looking good with <<$100 of vinyl and paint.
