Looks like the only thing worth taking is the trim, other than that I would pass.

Ask the seller to clean it and send photos, tell him you will add an extra 20 bucks if he cleans it and sends photos. It should only take 10 minutes to clean it.

You are right though, the 2012 dash looks better than the older ones. I have heard a few people complain though that like near the radio and some other spots, the leather has come lose. Mine looks perfect and I use the armor all non shiney detail cleaner on it and I love the smooth look of it.

If you notice this dash does not have the HUD cut out. It is really rough and would pass.

Find that guy who did the NuVinyl commercials on vinyl tops years ago and have him check it out for you.

Unless he's selling it next to nothing I'd pass.

No, don't do it. The 2012 dashs have a notorious 'bubbling" when the adhesive they used fails. There are a few threads on it. If you got it and it started bubbling you'd be stuck with no warranty and a faulty dash piece.

It doesn't look very bad but if it's this bad after 4 months imagine 3 years from now.

Thanks for the help guys! I passed on it, I decided it wasn't worth the risk to spend the money and then have it turn out to be Just a piece of junk .
