They'll fit. are these the hard or carpet ones? Either way, the dash was the same until... I wanna say 1988 but it might be 89. They will fit. Only issue is that it might cover up your speaker of you only have a center speaker.

I used to sell dashcovers when I had my business. Sold lots of them in the 80-90s.Custom fitted for your car.
$25 is a good price. I sold mine for $35. Carpet type is the best. The speakers are covered. The only thing that normally is cut out is for the auto dim sensor if the car has it. If you care about your dashboard, do not use the velcro to hold the dashcover on. Just lay it on. When you first get it out of the box, lay if flat for a couple of days to get the roll out. (they are rolled and put in a box) "Dashmat" brand is good. Some companies did make a rear cover for the package shelf. All but one of my cars have dashmats. If you drive with your windows down, I would not recommend a dashmat.

Yeah, for $25 It's fine.Originally posted by marquis_82_withneons View Post
As for attaching it, I never used the velcro, but I did run the two outer screws on the very ends of the top of the dash that point towards the center of the car through it to hold it steady. Works fine that way. On my Town Car, just laying it on there still allowed it to move around too much to not use something, so I chose the screws.
I would also say the carpet type is the best, though I have the velour.Comment

Anyone try the new Coverlay product on the box panthers? Everyone of the factory dash pads split !! 1990 and 1991 had the same dash pad and it was radically different than the 79-89 padded models. All speaker grills are paper thin on the 79 to 89 cars, and if your car used a radar unit like a Kustom K55 or MR9 like two of mine did; then you have a nice three inch wide impression in the middle all the way to the windshield. Should have bought a few crash pads years ago before they disappeared. 20/20 hind sight.Comment
