I've been thinking about a dash replacement too and had a thought for your feedback.
The 916's had a leather covered dash and interior. If our cracked vinyl dash's could be repaired and covered in leather wouldn't that be a good upgrade?
I'd use some high density spray foam to fill the cracks, then sand down any bulges to a uniform plane. Then have an upholstery shop stitch up a countoured cover and install over the original dash with a 1/8" thick foam pad. The first one made could be used as a pattern and circulated for others use.
I haven't discussed it with any upholsterer but my guess is that it would be about the same cost as a new vinyl dash...yet its leather!
Then I'd have to get the rest of the interior done to match...que sera.
Am I way off base or what do you think?
