Default New upper dash.........

My dash on my 98 black TA in Florida's hot sun (no...I'm not complaining) has just in the last month decided to crack and become a serious eyesore so can someone tell me where to order a new one from and hopefully one that's made a little better than the original? I can't believe how fast it progressed after it started Thanks in advance for your help!!!!

Best deal I've found so far (non-sponsor) is $159 for a new one. FYI

Where did you find that one? That doesn't sound bad.

I am not aware of anything better than the original design. I agree it sucks. I never even drove my car after replacing it before my new one cracked.

Mine lasted since 95 spending every day in the Texas sun, until I wiped it with armorall and it cracked. Wrap it in vinyl.

Thanks guys and I'm hoping eliminating some of the heat from underneath such as getting rid of the AIR system and adding a hood with heat extracters will help. I also agree that I won't ever wipe mine with armorall again!!
