I have never ordered from this site, but it looks like these are still available.

They were really popular in the 90's and kinda faded away when companies like JC Whitney and Black Dragon went away. Neat find.

I bought one from Black Dragon. Painted it white with plastic paint. The damn thing cracked and warped.

The white reduced the interior temperature a little.

That is very neat. Looks to be perfect. How do ( or did) people attach this? Silicone? Double side tape? I didn't notice any screw holes that may line up with existing dash screws?

Maybe a very soft velcro tape is the way to go?

Silicone. I had a black one several years ago on a car with a black interior. Unless you looked real close, you'd never notice the dash cap. Perfect, inexpensive fix for a cracked dash.
