Default How hard is it to change out the whole dash?

I'm looking at a s2000 with all red interior, but I'm not sure If I'll dig the WHOLE red look, so I might be looking to trade a few pieces with people.

Like seats, door panels, and the whole dash. Would switching out the whole dash be a pita?


I tried doing a search for "dash replacement", but nothing came up.

It iw not that bad. It is still alot of work.

Note these are the large steps. There are others, and disconnecting anyt part of the SRS system can cause injury and even death.
  1. Remove Driver Aribag
  2. Remove steering wheel.
  3. Drop steering shaft
  4. Remove dash bezel
  5. Remove gauge cluster
  6. Remove radio door
  7. Remove passenger side air bag
  8. Remove dash

That is about it. If you want to know the details, buy a helms manual. There is alot more to this then just the steps above.

I took out a dash and with the help of two other owner's it took us about 45mins. Putting one back IN. I don't even want to know how long that would take.
