Default For all those with melted/beat up/ I just want a new dash period!...

I was looking for carbon fiber trim on carid.com and stumbled upon this

http://www.carid.com/2007-lexus-is-w...rs-131205.html


Anyone gave this a shot before, any other similar products out there I might want to look at?
My dash is doing bad and I hate it.

I've seen his dash in person and it's reall bad. It's so bad that if you gently press your finger nails on the dash it will permenatly leave the mark.
