Mine just arrived and took a few pictures. Quality appears excellent. Won't know fit until I can get to install it which may be a while. I have other things keeping me busy right now. USA1 says 10-16 weeks delivery. Mine took just shy of 17 weeks but I think it will be worth it.

That looks good. Not ready for it. But with that lead time might order it and have the order started

I have one - I sized it up before boxing it back up. Excellent quality and fit - just takes forever to get. Wanted their door panels to go with but its been over 2 yrs since I first tried to get them and they are still back ordered.

Thank you, that looks pretty awesome. I'm just ordering a whole interior kit and just wanted to see if I was making the right choice

Thats alot of $$$ floating out there for am unknown ETA. I doubt they would ever actually rip you off, but if its YEARS in waiting (no joke - could be), that'd be pushing it in my book.

I got the spray dye/paint from USA (so it would match the interior), then ordered the panels and trims from LMC. Was about $150 cheaper for the lot. Same with the headliner and pillar trims. IIRC Firetruck has their panels and they look great.

It's a risk sure but lots of parts are on backorder from lots of companies these days. I've never had good luck from LMC and the last urethane dash pad I tried was a horrendous fit so I figured I'd take my chances and pay the money for good quality stuff.

Using a CC might have a recourse if that worries someone. Haven't heard anything bad about USA1 other than time frame. Tried the regular repro parts route, that didn't work. Ordered a pad figure might see it before end of year. Have had real good luck buying parts and services from forum recommendations.

I have a suspicion that this is the new normal. I think they let you order the backorder parts and when they hit the shipping minimum or some other metric with the manufacturer THEN they order in the product. This way they aren't warehousing might sell parts.... just a hunch. Been doing this dance with LMC for a year and I imagine as a much smaller company USA1 is doing much the same.

Good observation. Didn't think of that
