Justin - I thought $340 was a touch high myself. He claims the high
price is due to the materials, all imported, and the finish, gloss, lots
of coats, hand rubbed, etc. I'm likely going to go with the dash costing
$180. It's cheaper than the big 3 and assuming his claim is correct
about lightening to an orangish color, probably closer to original.
It would be great to hear from someone who has one of his dashes to
verify this.
Thanks for your 2 cents !!!
