Adhesive Dash Cap?

Has anyone got one of these adhesive dash caps I see floating around?
Its not so easy to find a mint condition original dash, and I was wondering if these look "okay" or just tacky and out of place?

Anyone got pics?
Thanks

I saw one on a car in a junkyard once, at first i thought it was just a stock dash in really good shape. But as i looked closer I realized it was a dash cap. It looked pretty good but sadly I have no clue who it was made by. But as far as how it looked, I wouldn't mind geting one if I had a cracked dash.

I put one in my '83 about 12-14 months ago. Painted it maroon to match thh original interior. Looks good. You really have to look close around the vents, etc., to see that it's a cap. It's been garaged, so I don't know how well it would hold up in direct sunlight.
