IMHO the dash covers look/feel cheaper than a Honda interior. The dash carpet rug things look even worse - they look like they were stolen from a 1970s Vegas brothel.

If you're that concerned, there are a number of threads about how to pull the dash, inject crack filler, sand it and refinish the dash either with a rubberized type of vinyl paint or other material that will look good and last a long time.

Or you can hold out for someone selling a good one (they're out there) and install it. I have maybe the only non-cracked original, un-recovered early car dashboard in existence in my early '85 and I do my best to keep it supple and in good shape, but who knows - it could crack tomorrow. I had to look for a couple of years before I found someone selling one and jumped on it immediately.

Again, YMMV.
