actually.. not really.. glassing the dash is much less complicated than doing a fiberglass audio system.. basically fiberglass resin is put on the dash and its painted over for the glossy glass look.. also called 'gel-coating'

if done correctly, it can look awesome, if its not a good quality job, youll start to see small cracks and waves in the paint and resin

but remember, expensive work doesnt always constitute good work.. find someone who has experience in fiberglass audio systems

"I have to stay home and wax my dashboard"

The dye sounds easier. Any threads running around about this?
