Define: 'Dash'

A lot of classes require that you retain the factory dashboard.

What exactly is the 'dashboard' in the eyes of the rulebook(s)?

In SCCA IT classes, it is everything that the rules don't specifically allow you to remove - the molded dash top, internal structure, steering wheel support, front fascia, etc...

So the bottom/side panels and all the structural beams within must remain?

What about fusecover, glovebox, hvac, etc.

Yup. Center console, if seperate from the dash, can be removed. This is the case in several hondas.

yes, maybe, no. The fuse cover is not attached with fasteners, so may be tossed. The glovebox is arguably part of the dash, however, someplace else in the GCR/ITCS, it allows removal of storage bins. HVAC must remain.
