Haha yeah I wish the previous owner didn't suck at dashboards, and stereo mods... Scratched the sides of the dash by the radio all to hell.

Beautiful car! My dash is doing the same thing

I am thinking of taking it somewhere local to see if they can do anything about it.

Thanks! Yeah I'm still trying to decide if I want to take the dash out and replace it, or take it out and wrap it.. Wrapping it while it's still in the car seems impossible up by the front windshield.. Life is hard. :P

Other than cracks, the dash just looks sticky and gross most of the time. :P

Just get a skull decal and put it over them tiny cracks...

I've gotta say I hate the look of dash covers.. Best thing you can do is clean and condition them to stay soft and supple. Dash covers remind me of an '80's Deville, uglyyyyy

This is off topic, but I haven’t seen this color G37 locally in the 254 area (assuming from the Cleo Bay Honda license plate). If you’re still in the area, come to the Friday night meet at Tabu where a few of the Gs go. I would like to see you car and if you have the dash cover by now in person. I’m interested as well and would like to see for myself the quality and all.
