I plan to grab a junk yard dash that will fit my 99 se tour and recover it in a new non warping dash material. could some one help me I need to know what type of padding and cover material I need to use? I know I can use suade or vinyl. I want to go with a light charcoal color in the end. I will also be painting the black trim to match the t-red on the car.

There is no need to do any of that if you are swapping the dash. If you get a dash from a 95-98.5 they will never warp, period.

Huh? 
You post says that you are getting a dash from the junkyard for your 99 SE. Why would getting a dash from a 95-98.5 be any different to install?

EDITED to be nicer. This heat is really getting to me big time.
Explain what you mean better?
There is two types of factory dash, 95-98.5 which do not warp, and look better IMO, and theres the 99-00 dash which warps and not as sharp looking IMO.

I will be taking a dash out of a 99 at the local junkyard and pulling the part that warps off and recoving it with a padding and top layer of vinal(preshrunk) or suede to finish off the new dash.
