ATTENTION S13 Cracked dash owners-DO IT!!! THE TIME IS NOW!!!

[DJ Cool Breeze]

I will Put money down as soon as i see the product....I hope it is as great as its been built up to be.

A full write up with pics would certainly be nice

Being that this is an overlay keep in mind your stuff is going to keep cracking, and it's hard to say what that will do to the overlay itself.

So even doing this it would still be smart to drill out the "tips" of the cracks w/ a very very very small drill bit (rounding out the edge of the crack will help prevent it from spreading). It's an old trick and wont make the situation look any better, but it will help it from getting worse.

Wow, I'm gone for 2 hours and sheeeaat! Guys, Please be patient, I am waiting on Frank with Coverlay to email pics, when I get them, I will post ASAP!

Redtop, I hear you, I think all of your questions will be answered when you see the pics!

I promise to do a full write-up with pics. As for prepping your dash, Don't worry bout' existing cracks, they won't be an issue with the new overlay.

TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT!

I dont wan't to sound like a whiner or the thorn in your side, but I'm quickly getting frustrated with the vague nature of this product. If you have installation instructions post those. That way I can have a definite answer.

Let me help you with this:

Wait until the pics are posted. Stop freaking out.

Disc brakes made NO sense to my Dad when cars came out with them either.

He had to SEE them to understand them.

You're clearly too young to have ever restored an antique foreign car, but overlays are quite common in the restoration community. As our 240's approach antique status, there will be more of a market for these.

The coolest part of this whole endeavor is that WE made it happen.

It's AZHitman approved! It'll be good

(And I'm trying to convince my sis to sell her dumpy Jetta and find a nice 240, maybe you can hook her up AZ...she just moved down to Phoenix)

I'll buy this... last week my dash cracked. Big long crackes right on top of the gauge cluster. I was sooo pissed, since it was a clean dash before hand. I would really like to see replacement door panels without speaker cut outs as well. Factory door panels are around $300 a piece last time I checked.

[redtop91]

Stop freaking out.

My mint dash cracked this week and I'm anxious (Read pissed off). Sawee.

[driftin_sr20det]

I'm excited to see some pics.... I'd like to be talked out of fiberglassing my dash.

Damn skippy! Thanks for the back up on this. I got my *** slaughtered on Z ilvia & my thread locked. ****ers.

i have a mint condition Dash....i dont want it to crack what do i do so it wont crack....i searched and found out not to use armor all becuase its bad....the write up never mentioned...what to use....soo anyone got suggestions?

[i2ice4m3]

People who have experience with this product:

Does the Coverlay completely cover the dash or is it partial? If it's partial, wouldn't the cutoff line be very noticeable?

On the website it says "made from thick ABS plastic" - how will this affect the fitment of vents?

Do you think this would be a good option for those looking for a dash color conversion?

Sorry for all the questions, but it's still a big chunk of change to drop. Thanks!

[Didderson]

lol sorry awesomenick. I searched for cracked dashes and yours looked the worst LOL.congrats?

I'd expect no less from that bunch of inbred a$$.

This will be a NICO exclusive, btw. Not available enywhere else.

ArmorAll is garbage. 303 Protectant and Vinylex are the only good ones I've found. 303 can be bought at boating supply shops, Vinylex at PepBoys.

Yours will crack, it's not what YOU do to it, it's how it was cared for in its first 3-5 years of life.

Complete coverage.

Even if it DID have a cutoff line, that's better than cracks, right? Cracks = ghetto crappiness.

Vents are unaffected - it gets thinner around the vent holes.

It'd be great for a color swap - Got blue or brown? Want black? BOOM!

$161 is chump change for the difference it'll make on your car. I've not seen any good pristine dashes for sale, and no one else has come up with a really good solution for cracked dashes, so until there's a good alternative, I'll be rockin' one of these!

[mchkc240]

So it's just like a cover thing~ I see I see... Mmmm... Wanna see the pictures tho. If they have really sick ones. Then I will prob go with them

[theclub]

If you just want to through some **** on top of your dash to hide the cracks, why not spend 30$ on a carpet dash cover like most people.

[gaehrings13]

lmaooo booo, s14's are newer, were old school here

[ShinHed]

Why not just pull it, and re-vinyl over the top after filling the crack?

Screw that ABS plastic cover! I drive a 240sx, not a 240z

[i2ice4m3]

Thanks for the reply, AZ

Because you'll probably enlarge the existing crack or create new ones from the removal, then create new ones on the reinstall Plus, you save a bunch of time
