The obvious concern is that any used dash is on the precipice of disintegrating like the existing dash, simply due to brittleness and foam decay. Even with a windshield shade and Lexol vinyl protectant - there are 110º days here during the summer.

I did find another on eBay, but from a coupe. We'll see how this one looks when it shows...lol. Guess I just don't learn.

It's a lot of work to remove/reinstall the dash. I don't want to have to keep swapping in used dashes...but the cost of recovering the dash, upper/lower consoles, and a-pillars is going to hurt.

But hey, thanks to a tip on this board, I did get a recommendation for leather seat covers that I can live with. Under $1500 for fronts and rear, headrests included.
