Hey, just tellin' it like it is. I was on the fence about changing out my 06 dashboard as it has some pretty nasty scratches on it. This past summer I found one in excellent shape and can procure it for $150.00 CAD. Decision is made now...I'm doing the swap out - inspired by your pic. I just love a clean, relatively scratch-free interior.

I'm right there with you. Although I'm enjoying a lot of the rat-rod and N.F.G. style builds I'm seeing lately, I've always been the type to like to keep my cars looking as new/clean as possible.

Sweet deal for a new dash at $150!

Yeah, the auto recycling place has two Yari hatchbacks and both have pretty good interiors. $150.00 is a good price as I'd been quoted over $300.00 from a couple other places and they could not even offer me pics. The glove box on my 06 has a broken hinge, so I'll need that too but I think the guy said around $40.00 for that. I'll see if I can get them to throw the gauge cluster surround in. One of the previous owners must have carried some metal beams or similar as the passenger side is deeply scratched in a few spots. Grrrr.... Haha!

Oh yeah, that would irk me every time I looked at it.

Much like my door dings!

Yup. My wife enjoys telling her immediate family that I "made her" walk - 8 months pregnant - across the parking lot so we could park away from the hoards of Walmart shoppers that can't get close enough to the entrance. I went with her of course for moral and physical support.
