Interior/Exterior Retrofit 3 Piece Dash

As long as you're removing the airbag, you should be fine.
The left side fits just fine (I have an '05 in my '04), and the middle is the same. The right side should snap in, though you'll need to 'help it' a bit to stabilize the inside edge. There are several screws on the bottom that hold in the stock '02 piece - you can likely glue a tab or two to the '05+ piece to hold it in there.
I just swapped my alloy dash for anthracite. I've had the right side for quite some time, but didn't want to risk bashing my passenger in the face with a piece of dash moving at 100mph so I waited for a stock <'05 piece.

Make sure you add the diod/resistor whatever is needed thingamaboby to the airbag harness so your airbag light wont be on. Make sure to do all this before you ever turn the key in the ignition once you start or you will be making a trip to the dealership....
I wish I knew you had wanted the whole dash as I am going to sell mine now...

So i assume that means you are gonna be getting a roll bar or roll cage so that the harnesses have somewhere to attach to? What kind of racing do you do that calls for full-time harnesses rather than the schroths which allow you to run normal belts when driving on the street.

You can use the Scroth harness as a full time belt but its not as easy as the foctory belt, if you are running errands this is going to be a hassle everytime you go to buckle up.
The reason JTREM says removing the airbag isnt an issue is that the person will be strapped in with a harness keeping them in the seat. So they will not hit the dash in an accident like many people do when using inventional belts (thats why airbags are in cars). There are some concerns with this that myself and Rally have voiced though.
