Thinking of going with an Alcantara/Swede dash top with leather seats, console and lower dash, and doing it in something other than just black.....we'll see. Plan on going no sail panel vinyl (weld the holes up and satin black the trim pieces). You?
I agree. Replacing it all is the correct thing to do if there's a lot of pitting, but in my case there was no rust in the front pans. The 911 I'm working on required replacing the full pans plus every piece of metal supporting them, so I wasn't looking forward to doing that again so soon.

My wife's decided on Irish Green with the black vinyl sails, but until I deem shakedown complete (installing a 2.2l subie turbo) it's going to be driven in primer- and I'm considering leaving the heavy coat of "protective rust" on the doors as accents.
