thanks for this. for $190 it looks like the best solution. I saw a couple mats out there including the Carhartt one, and as much as I like the brand, I just had mixed feelings at best.

My cracks haven't gotten bigger or more noticeable since I discovered them, but they will be eventually dealt with. I'll go the coverlay route. Personally, I can't stand just throwing a cover on top of the dash

It's $133 for the black on RockAuto which is where I got mine. It's been on for over two years now, very happy with it and most people can't even notice it after you mention it's there. To me, the only solution that actually retains a stock look.

Doesn't look too bad to do, just a lot of patience. Worse comes to worse, in another words you completely screw it up, get the Dash Coverlays.

Toyota dealer replaced my entire dash for zero. There was a recall.

Black? I saw somewhere that the BLACK one is the exact match for our "dark grey" dashes, so it's true that we have to get the black one?

$190 coverlay without a question. Quickest, cheapest and best solution you'll find.. unless of course you want to drive around with carpet on your dash for $35 from amazon lol.

This was the first thing I ordered when I picked up my 03 from Florida last summer. The dash was destroyed. The coverlay fits like a damn glove. Just be careful when ordering if you have a speaker in the center top center of the dash like I did, they have 2 different versions.

I just did a Carhartt overlay. Its durable and covers the cracks for $60.

Replace

Anyone replace it with a junk yard one? Thee is a few on eBay. I wonder if the swap could be done in one weekend?

It took the Toyota technician/mechanic only approximately 2 hours to replace mine when Toyota was still doing the "Warranty Enhancement" dash replacements, granted that was all he was doing at the dealership during that time period and could most likely do it blind folded after the first few he did.

Toyota replaced my entire dash for free. The dealer did the job.
