For me it isn't so much the look (although the glovebox isn't that pretty), but more the practicality for an everyday driver. As a weekender HQ dash is fine. But HZ-WB U17 dash with intermittent wipers, combo switch, trip meter and better night lighting suits me better for daily use. Plus good dashpads are 1/10 of the cost of HQ ones! I must admit HQ vents with worn foam are fun once you get them spinning!
