Well the thing looks promising except that the pics are low res. What does the material feel like? Does it get burned by the sun light and heat? How does the original black look like?Thanks

coverlay is the mfg, they have been tried by a few members, and work great. we actually had a thread about email the company until they realized that we needed them. nico made it happen.

My VQ swap is really in a bad shape. All the dash plastic are literally falling apart from the sun baking. Dash is a goner and I don't want to give up the perfect one in the other coupe.

I want to redo the interior to look and feel really nice in this one, enough to pick up chicks, etc. LoL

After owning an RX-8, I can't ride a rattking squeaking bucket anymore.

Is that the OEM dash or the dash cover?

My friend has one in his 240 his dash was all ****ed up and with that it looks like a completly stock dash, and it does crack or anything from the sun he had it for quite some time now. I would recommend getting it, but if you want a completly new dash its up to you

I'm aiming for something better than stock with my new coupe. I mean it's getting a Maxima engine, the interior should follow as well and not look like some ****ty Camaro with Corvette engine.

Price is too much you can find a near mint uncracked dash for about $100, those overlays look like **** IMO

That's why I'm asking if anyone has better pics. I want to see the texture and sheen of the color.
