Well I had wondered this myself. The dash is not really padded on the
front face is it? It looks like ABS Plastic, but I am sure it is not.
But it is hard so I wondered if it could be done. The other choice was
to cut up a spare dash and replace the front face with woo on the
drivers side and the black padding on the passengers side. For the top I
would use a replacement pad that Moss and VB sells. But so far I am just
in the thinking stage, and have not yet torn into my dash. That is a
project I hope to tackle this weekend.
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated...
