I guess they make new ones now, but the reviews are mixed. There's a thread here you can try searching for.

Yes, actually it was.
Being from Minnesota I've never seen anything like it. A guy I ran onto was looking for a dash pad and I happened to have one. I couldn't believe how bad it was so I took a couple of pics before throwing it out. The paint was faded and even the seat had marks from where something was left on it. It was a pretty nice car otherwise, it had the G92 option.

t-top havoc:
I don't know if Armourall was used on it but the backing was the only thing holding it together. Here's the other two pics I took of it:

Re: My dash board officially cracked

My car is from PA and my dash is just as bad...but other than rips on side of my front seats the rest of the interior is pretty much fine.
