glass action has a few varieties, I've seen people swap Miata NA (1st gen) dashboards, Subaru GD (02-07 Impreza) dashboards, 50's beetle dashboard swap and even saw one 70's 911 dashboard swap.

Unfortunately I don't have pictures ready for any of those but should give you some ideas to start.

dieselgirl had her stock dash upholstered with fake alligator skin at the Northwest Bug Run. Have your stock dash upholstered locally!

dave1 thats one option we are looking at, trying to remove as much black and chrome from the car as possible, was also looking into a fiberglass ghia dash cover
