Your dash. Just better.
SoftCap is a padded, OEM-style dash solution that installs directly over your existing dashboard, giving a clean factory look without the cost or downtime of full restoration.
Why SoftCap
Meet SoftCap!
Most dash fixes either look cheap or take too long.
Cracked dashes ruin a finished interior
Even after fresh upholstery and trim, the dash can still make the whole cabin feel unfinished.
Plastic caps look fake
Hard plastic covers often read like a shortcut, especially beside clean interior work.
Full restoration adds months
Traditional restoration can be right for top-tier originality, but it is often too slow and too expensive for a real-world build.
SoftCap is the right middle ground.
SoftCap is the right solution when full restoration feels like too much and a plastic cap is not good enough.
- Padded, OEM-style finish for a cleaner factory look
- Installs directly over the existing dashboard with no dash removal
- Built for driver-quality and mid-tier restorations
- Better fit for timeline-sensitive, budget-conscious projects
A padded dash solution made for builds already in progress.
SoftCap gives shops and owners a cleaner dash result without the compromise of a hard plastic cap or the delay of a full restoration cycle.
| Option | Look | Install Timing | Cost / Lead Time | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dash Cap | Hard plastic cover that often looks like an add-on. | Usually the fastest shortcut. | Lowest price, biggest visual compromise. | Buyers looking for the cheapest fix. |

Installed as part of the interior process.
Prep the surface
Clean and prep the existing dashboard. The cleaner the surface the better the bond and fitment.
Prep the SoftCap
Clean and lightly scuff the underside, this will help with adhesion.
Apply Adhesive
Apply silicon adhesive evenly across the bonding surfaces.
