Sounds similar to "Tablero" the spanish word for Dashboard.
The Dashboards of these second gen Kia Sephia, are really one of the Worst made on any car, worldwide; they gets deformed easy by the sun, and even worse if you use the Heat on the A/C.
I believe he is refering to the Dashboard, and yes, you can retrofit the one from the first gen Spectra onto the second gen Sephia, but is a Royal Pain in the Arse... is better to do such retrofitting, when you're about to change the Windshield... you know: Without the front glass in.
The past weekend, I saw a second gen Kia Sephia, here in Honduras, whose owner retrofitted the complete Dashboard, minus the instrument cluster, from the second gen Kia Rio.
It looked great, but didn't allow me to take photos...
This repair was Not done by me, Photos found online
However, you can try to Repair the Warped Dashboard on your Sephia, others have done it, using a Heat blowing gun, and paint; long time ago, I saved this photos from an online source, and I share them here, so you can see that repairing the Warped dashboard, is doable:
Dashboard Removed:
Dashboard Straightened:
Dashboard completely Repaired and Painted:
Kind Regards.
