** S13 owners fed up with cracked dashboards**
Ok there was a thread about this before on here, but its so old and i've gotten enough PMs about it to warrant a re-fresh.

I decided to buy another 240 for a daily and the interior was wrecked, but the exterior was clean with minor exceptions and it had zero rust so I couldn't pass it up for 300 dollars! lol

Anyway I was able to replace pretty much all the wrecked stuff buy replacing the shitty auto seat belts with s14 seatbelts, using the stock seats that originally came in my white car, buying aftermarket replacement carpet, etc. My only problem was the dashboard, it was fucked all to hell as you can see in the pictures below, I hunted for a new dash for a couple weeks and then gave up. I instead decided to search for a way to cover it up so I was thinking either wrapping it or just getting a dash mat but then I stumbled upon cover lay manufacturing, they make abs plastic covers that are exact copies of oem dashboards that you just slip over your shitty old dash and they fit fucking awesome!!

BEFORE:


The cover lay itself


AFTER:



It really fits awesome and it is worth every penny, It takes seconds to install, I recommend it to anyone with a shitty cracked s13 dash

*****HERE IS THE LINK TO COVER LAY MANUFACTURING*****
88-94 Nissan 240SX 10-890




I understand some may know about this already or whatever but a lot of people still don't so I figured I'd put it out there again to be helpful.

This is a good alternative when you can't find a mint dash locally

Very good find nonetheless

People didn't know these were available?

I've been thinking about getting one for a while already, Its just not really at the top of my priority list. My dash isn't nowhere near as bad as the OP's though.
