        That sucks. They can't last forever. I swapped mine about 2 or so years ago, and it has a few little small ones here and there.

        There's a perfect one at the U-Pull-It here, if you're interested, I can go find out what they charge for them. And if you're real nice, I might even go pull it and ship it to ya.

          This happened to my dash a month ago due to the cold weather. I cried a little.

              Thanks for the offer janderson, but as dude said, Ive already got a line on another one local i need to go look at. Its just depressing that one of the reasons i bought this car a year ago was because of the crack free dash.

                Mine is cracked to hell and I hate looking at it every day.

                I have a perfect and crack free one but haven't gotten around to the dreaded replacement yet. Got it for free from some guy on Craigslist who wanted it out of his garage.

                I'm almost afraid to install it though because then I have to worry about it cracking too. :(

                        Happened to my swap car last winter.

                        Went from perfect dash to way fucked dash in a couple of evenings.

                          I bought a m52 to swap in my car 2 nights ago. I think the car is telling me it doesn't want more power :)

                            Have you taken a look at the engine yet? I still can't believe you got Gerry to sell it.

                                Damn looks like that puppy needed some kind of protectant on it to prevent cracking. Too late.
