Not for the purist!

I stumbled across this and considering how unavailable dash pads are for low windshield cars, I thought I would share this video. If this was shared already, disregard. Not show quality, not for a true restoration, but for a driver, this isn't terrible:

Over on Facebook, Richard Lin has just produced the first new batch of low windshield daah pads, with more to come soon!

I do not have a facebook account and cannot access that link. What is Raymond charging for his dashpads for the early cars?

You can email Raymond Lim for a quote.

ergodoc.raylim @ yahoo.com

He asked me not to share my price publicly, but I can say it makes Just Dashes look like criminals.

I didn’t know JD did low windshield ones, what do they charge? I know the high windshield ones are $$$, but it’s a completely different dash.

Why not publicly? He’s selling a product, does he charge different people different prices?

I would advise you to ask Raymond directly, email above, if you really want to understand his motivation. I am just happy that a low dash pad is no longer made of unobtainium.

Back in the early 21st Century JD was charging $400 for low windshield dashes and $550 for high dashes.

The latest reports have high windshields from JD anywhere from $2000 to $4000.

You are comparing a high windshield dash price to a low windshield one they don’t offer, and calling them criminals because it’s higher? That’s some odd logic. That’s like saying you bought a Timex watch for $40 and it proves Rolex are criminals.

Updated information! Ray has told me his low dash pad production is on hold. Good news though, Dean has announced an $880 low dash pad production run due in February 2024. Go here to put you name on the waiting list:
