Well, just to toss some actual *facts* in here (why'd he do that, mommy?):
there are three different woods in dashboards. Walnut, Zebra(no), and
something else (cherry?).


Then, Anthony Chan chipped in:

More facts (sorry, kid!):

As Mike LaRosa knows, the wood on my dashboard turned into sawdust,
so I investigated replacement. On my '89 100Q (which has the walnut,
I think), there were two pieces totalling about $600 retail. I may
give Linda a call to see what she has. I don't know why the '92 would
be 4 times as expensive, unless it's just due to crazy dealer markups.

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she's roughly quarter-sawn herself.
