I came across "dash caps" on NPD - from the pix it's hard to tell how exactly it'd work... is it basically something that snaps on top of an existing dash pad? Kinda like a tupperware lid?

I believe it is essentially a plastic “cap” that is glued down on whatever you have now. My truck has one and to the discerning eye you can tell, but I'd guess most people that aren't like us would never know. I'd like to replace mine but being green, and having to buy another color, try the PEM dye and hope for the best, is an expensive experiment.

Right. I am green as well - hatteras green! I am debating on whether I want to bite the bullet and try the green from coverlay, or go with generic black... :\

I would guess that is you use the overlay/cap you might have to trim off some of the large peeled up edges of the large cracks.

Is the top surface soft-touch or hard-touch? How does it install? I see it has a stud and a nut so it looks to replace the OEM one, somehow? Sorry if that sounds silly - still trying to wrap my head around it.
