Cost varies depending on if you want anything special like screens or gauges molded in. On average 500-600 if I pull it and no special stuff molded in including center console.

This is a blinding interior, the black has nothing to reflect, it absorbs more light than it does reflect in this case.. And the blue is low enough that it won't be too bad, fiberglassing and glare has a lot to do with the position of the painted area and the certain color.
You have to love high-fill primers, it cuts out all the long winded steps of making a smooth surface. It is nice to see other people doing different stuff. I was going to do my dash in a suede/carbon fiber combo, but i am done wasting money on this ride.. time to move on.
kudos.

Wow jason..
Wow jason your interior is Off the chain now. Woah! Is yours sprayed with a primer fill and wetsanded down too? are your door panels as well? They seem to be a little off-color but it could be the light.
So vitrually all I would be doing is Filling the cracks with a good fill primer and wetsand the Dash out. Sounds almost too easy...
Well while im doing the rest of the car, why not ya know.
Did you use a reg surface prep before sanding or do you just lay on the paint. Does it ever crack b/c a dash is kinda flexible a little bit.?
How hard was all the wiring to get back together in the dash?
(I did this Once to a Civic HB but used Velor and all sorts of good stuff, I had the worse time getting the heater controls to work right and everything, ill have to take some time on the max though)
Thanks guys this is great information on here.

Ive done like 6 dashes and after the first 2 that I had cracking issues with I found a way to do it that gives me no problems. Its time consuming and if you mess up it can cost you a new dash. I would not do this unless you know what your getting into.
