Default Dash panel

Has anyone purchased a new repro dash panel and been satisfied?
Thank you for your input!

I've bought 2 or 3 back in the 80's and 90's. Nice and shiney, but the lower two 10-32 screw holes did not line up.
Good question. Are the new repros any better?

I've had better luck getting an origional replated. Screws all line up and the chrome doesn't peal off in 2 years. More cost but a permant fix.

I've tried a couple and the same thing. I can get one of two screws in the bottom.

The repro's look nice, but don't fit. A refurbished original by Don Turley is absolutely gorgeous and fits perfectly.
