I agree that the most desirable option would be to have it recovered by 928 leather or reconditioned by another shop, but if you are on a budget and want the best possible result from a cap then pulling the dash is the best way. I can not speak from experience on the later (85.5-up) cars but the early dashes are a cinch. I can pull one and install another in half a day, the only thing you have to do is bag your parts and be detailed. There are only a handfull of screws that hold the dash in place along with the bolt in the center speaker. Plus it is a great time to do any vent cleaning, small repairs like the defroster lever, or cleaning up the wiring from a PO stereo install. It is also an excellent time to install LED bulbs in the place of your old weak gauge bulbs.
