No cracks in my 08 yet. I have a weird scuff from when the p/o cleaned it and a weird looking faded spot, but that's all. I also use a sunshade in the windshield as mine lives outside (no garage). I imagine the Colorado sun will get to it someday, though

No cracks on my wife's 08'. My 03' has been getting hairline cracks lately. So I took advantage of the new dash program and have mine ordered from Kuni Lexus Denver. They say it will take a couple of months.

Also along the vents, they can crack there and can be hard to see.

I have an 04 with 90k purchased back in October. went to the dealer to schedule an appointment for the side airbag recall last week and inquired about the dashboard as well. They said no problem replacing it and would order one. At the time I didn't notice and cracks but my wife happened to find one on the passenger side by the by the airbag. It's a hairline type of crack that's a little difficult to see and happy I have one on order. If your on the fence about this I would suggest having it replaced as a precaution

I have a 2003 with no cracks. Dash practically looks brand new. Had to be a garage kept before I bought it. But, I live in Louisiana where it is hot and sunny 90% of the year and the vehicle has been here its whole existence so the dash is holding up to severe heat well. I do try to use a dash protector when I park it uncovered for a while though.

Knocking on wood it stays uncracked!

What color is your vehicle? I love the black on gray interior, but I can't imagine it works out too good in the sun. Probably makes the inside 10 degrees hotter in the summer lol.

its Silver Pine. I'm in Arizona, so my windows and entire windshield are tinted. It's not too bad.

Yup, 35%. I have a chip in the glass so it's getting replaced. I'm going to go with ceramic tint next time around. I had my Infiniti windshield done at 20%, but it was too dark. IMO, 35% is perfect. Actually helps at night as it reduces incoming headlight glare drastically.
