the aftermarket ones aren't supposed to crack like the factory ones are notorious for doing. But I hate the 4th gen dash pad, they are velcroed down and break easy.

For that price, I would get a written lifetime guarantee before I would believe it wouldn't crack.

his money he can do what he wants. If I had the money to get one from them i probably would. I bought a "mint" one on ebay and the damn thing was crack free but no where near "mint" due to the marks all over it.
