Need to replace my dash pad??

Dashes Direct seems to be a pretty decent reman unit.
I looked at their website. They only show Vinyl in black. or Urethane in every color BUT the Tan I have??
I did some research a year ago on this. The one I got wasn't a bad deal. Fit was decent. The ONLY thing I hate is the urethane base or whatever it is they make them with, gives off fumes that makes my windows cloudy while in the sun. My inside of the windows have to be cleaned every week but thats finally starting to go away. The vinyl covered dashes are like twice the cost and not cheap.

I was looking at Cheyenne trucks. I don't mind spending the money, just want it to fit.
Another good thread here

I'm doing something similar to this thread, except instead of painting/bedlining, I'm wrapping it in marine grade vinyl (doing the door panels as well and relocating the window/door lock switches to a center console). I'll start a thread once I'm done.

I had a dashes direct for a week, fitment was great but there were some defects in the urethane
I just got the usa1 vinyl over foam, it's twice the price of the dashes direct and the fitment is not as good, but the overall material looks better. Not fully installed yet because I'm waiting on new AC vents (they broke in shipping)
if I could do it again, I would have kept the dashes direct for $325 which only took a week. The $650 dash from USA1 took 8 weeks.
