I need to purchase a new Aqua dash pad.  Is there more than one manufacture?  If so, which is best?

Thanks

As far as I know, all the current ones are incorrectly made with deep grain, unlike originals.  If you're doing a car with an emphasis on correctness, it would be recommended to source a nice original.  Or, possibly find an older reproduction.

There is no best. You can spot a repop through a closed window.

I did speak with NPD who was kind enough to send pictures of 2 vendor options.  There are positive differences in a superior unit branded "NPD".  The other choice is Dashes Direct/Universal Urethane.  Not sure if there are other manufactures of the 67/8 dash pad.
