I have used this solution on other vehicles in the past. It is a hard plastic skin molded to the shape of you dash. You put some silicone on your existing dashboard and glue this unit down directly on top of the existing dash board. They typically fit very well and it is a great alternative to replacing the dashboard and it looks way better than those carpeted dash covers.

Btw I only selected the model year 93 as an example. They have an online configuration where you select the year, model, color, etc.

so you have used these on other vehicles just not a SC yet? I have a crack in my 35th dash that has the "tissue" container on top of it. I have a spare black dash with zero cracks but I really don't want to give up the original style dash that was in the 35th. I may have to give this a whirl and if it doesn't work out I can always change to my spare.
I am not certain if the overlay makes accomodations for the tissue container on the top of the dash.
I have used this solution on a number of different vehicles. When I was a kid I used them often on 1971-73 Mach 1's as i had a love affair with those cars for a very long time. I also used this on a 1985 Turbo Coupe I had as a young kid. it worked well on all of those applicaitons. I had to trim a few areas with an exacto blade. The beautiful thing about this soluiton is that you can test fit it as often as you like before you use the silicone to adhere it to the dash surface. Once ou have it all squared away then glue it on so to speak.

Even worse its very thin vinyl which is one reason they're so suceptible to cracking.After getting my old cracked dash out, I can say - it's very thin foam over a metal base. Given that, there's instructions on the Internet on how to peal the foam off, refoam it, and glue new vinyl onto it.
I did the same thing.. I refurbish every dash by sanding and priming the metal to get rid of the rusty smell. I was sanding the rust off and pushed on it just a bit and got a small split. Arrrggg..(I managed to crack my "new" vinyl dash while shifting it around to move the wiring over from the 1991 XR7 to the unwired dash ... Curses! But at least it's not puckered and cratered, so it'll be easy to cap now.)
