I'll never have to worry about that dash trying to curl at the front in TX again!
Do you have a finished pic of this? The dash on my '94 is beginning to curl and I'm thinking about doing this kit.

I can get you one tomorrow. It looks factory & once I replaced the screws with black drywall screws it was a breeze. The screws that came with the kit sucked.

The dash is black so it’s kinda hard to see, but with the sharper drywall screws it was much easier to install/punch thru the hard plastic underneath the foam and the heads actually fit the holes.

Yeah it was sticking up nearly an inch originally. AB has the kit the cheapest, but you have to search under D1 vs D2 (same darn dash..).

That does look good! I have a tan interior/dash, but black goes with everything, right?
This has the same part number, wonder if its really the same item? https://www.genuinelandroverparts.co...nel-lrn1292lml

I saw the black kit installed on a Bahama Beige LR & it looked fine to me.

Picked up my original ARB bumper I had on my 98 LSE (saw it posted on CL & recognized it due to the nice & no longer made Pro Comp 9inch Lights). It was listed for 400.00, but I text him and got it for 250.00. Grabbed some new Grade 8 bolts, removed the flawless 03-04 S model bumper (will be selling it), and installed the ARB Bumper.
