You kno wyou could wrap it with a nice textured leather like antelope.......it can be found in black and looks really good.
One of the guys up here has it in his first gen.........entire interior.....racing seats and all and it is really nice.........looks very high end......less work than sanding and priming and painting too.

I just got done putting my dash back in on my 08 xb after completly sanding and painting it. The smell is driving me nuts though. Paint fumes while driving suck lol. If you want to do it just be prepared to not drive your car for a few days, and to sand your heart out. A palm sander is great untill you need to sand a corner or curve. It did come out great. Now I just need to get a orbital buffer because after all that sanding I refuse to buff it to a mirror finish by hand. I seem to have lost my dumb camera though which sucks, dumb me being too drunk in vegas.
