I suppose it would depend on the condition of the interior as is, or if there's something you don't like about it.

Welcome to NICO Club! Cool, you have a budget to spend on interior improvements. That stuff is so often overlooked. Do you know if you want to restore/ refresh your OEM interior or are you thinking of maybe swapping finishes and upholstery, maybe even adding color or lighting?

I would like to know what everyone is doing about their cracked dash. Is yours cracked?

Lot's are cracked. I don't think there's a repair for it. The vinyl is pulled taught until it gives and cracks. There's no softening and stretching it back over the crack. There's no good way to add and hide a seam there. So, people either live with it, replace it with a non-cracked dash (valuable piece if you have and extra one), toss a dash cover over it or have it re-upholstered re-vinyled.

Our buddies over at FRSport sell dash overlays.

Here's an installation and review thread:

It doesn't look exactly like the original dash... it will sit proud of the vents and the center plastic piece and such.
