matt drago Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey Guys, Just thought I'd let you know that I just pickde up my dash and console from The Dashboard Doctor. The dash needed to be reskinned. I gave them two consoles that I had (both broken in half and missing pieces). The job that they have done is outstanding. I highly recomend these guys if you need work to be done on your dash or console. Once I take some after shots, I'll post them with the before shots. Now I just have to find a place to keep it safe until the car is sprayed. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRQTR Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Prices?? And ye some before and after shots would be good, especially as you say the console was basically 2 parts. It's always good to hear good things, with these guys I am not surprised though as they have been around for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP240z Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 my old cheese recently had her dash reskinned through the dash doctor. it was easily the worst console ever, had more cracks than a sri lankan cricket pitch, and for i think $500 it came back better than new. Quite pricey I thought, but when in Rome....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toecutter Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I had a 240 dash reskined there for 450 about a year ago. good job it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt drago Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 All up, both parts getting redone cost me $600. I think that it was $450 for the dash reskin and $150 for the console work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fufu Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi guys, just for future references, the dashboard doctor's have upped there price for standard re-skinning of the 240z dash. It is now $495 to get it done there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalee Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Bugger, it was $450 when I got mine done in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP240z Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 My old cheese got her 2 seater dash done there in the last few months. She said it was $450 if you took the guages out, or $500 of you left them in. You have to rate their work though.. it was a terrible dash and it now looks like brand new.

Moderators PB260Z Posted April 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted April 7, 2016 Now $650 Are there any alternative places? $650 seems to have the price for a little while now, but the quality is reported to be first rate. Are there any other places? haven't heard any mentioned. but it is a dam good question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted April 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 7, 2016 Now $650 Are there any alternative places? Inflation mate. There was a place in Adelaide. Someone posted an example recently I was trying to find it but no luck yet. Quality looked top shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircobra Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 i think i got to the bottom of the dashboar technology via a thread on 911 dashes in the 60,70 and 80s technology land, the skin and the foam were actually made separately and then just glued glued together so the reason that the dashboard doctor MUST put the skin on top is that you cannot put ABS hot plastic sheet straight over the foam - you will not get the correct shape and defintion so you need a male mold for the skin and a female/male foam mold. no wonder that you can't get a complete NEW dash, only either a glue on overskin ( US style) or the stretch over vynil ( dashboard doctor style). it would be a huge and pro job to do the molds to a level of factory accuracy .. to cut a long story short, does anyone have a spare, rubbish dash for the cause that i can use to rig up some molds?
