    lid

    delorean go has them--- If you get one make sure you read the directions about it. I didnt fill with epoxy and it eventually warped.. I ended up using the original again after painting it (whatever vinyl paint was recommended somewhere on this forum). If you are trying to replace because of its burnt or faded, I would try vinyl paint and see if your happy with result..

    Delorean Go sells plastic ones. The original ones are covered with a material to match the dash. Do the plastic ones look OK?

    Mine has damage on the front corners so would like to replace it.

    it fit fine. I had to make a clip to hold the latch in it.. the problem I had and maybe you will too is that my binnacle and dash were both replaced before i got car and the glove box lid was not. so basically had 3 different shades of grey. (common problem from what ive read) Whatever lid you end up getting may not match everything else. Thats where the vinyl paint comes in.. I also fixed some spots on my original one with a vinyl repair kit before i painted it. Maybe something you could try? I repaired mine and painted it but lost all interest in trying to paint everything else... so i just ordered a grey suede dash mat from covercraft........

    My "stock" one has some damage on the front corners. I don't want a plastic replacement if I can get an original covered one. Mine does not need any reshaping. And, sorry if this is insulting, but I would never put a cover over the dash.... really, really don't like the look.

    So, does anyone have a stock covered one for sale? Seems like no.

    Agreed. All owners need to tint the windshield. Even with the clear 70% ceramic films you're providing protection for the dash and binnacle. My original binnacle and dash are perfect even exposed to the S.FL sun. [Autobahn i3 ceramic window film]

    I know it is not legal to tint a windshield in many places....like Ontario, Canada. Whether the "clear" ones are acceptable, I suspect if they do not tint the windshield at all then it should be OK.

    It's fine. The ~70% films are CLEAR.
