I hid my crack!

Well,
I got so tired of looking at that awful crack in the dash (you know the one above the radio ) I tried to repair it but it is a PITA, I have an uncracked dash but I decided it was too much work to pull the old one and install the new one. I was at the jy yesterday and started pulling bowtie emblems from all the Chevys and I found this one that matched my red and black theme. I also found a steering wheel button that was red and black and it fit perfectly in my Grant wheel. How do you hide your cracks?

I have a crack in the exact same spot. What did you put over it? Is it a plastic emblem?

Looks like it's from a lumina or beretta?

So far I dont have any cracks except my dash, which I replaced.

Good thinking though.

Yes it was a Lumina, I have an obsession with the red bow ties. I have the front liscense plate, seat covers, horn button, floor mats, windshield sun visor, now dash emblem, and I have another large red one that I need to figure out where to put it.

I replaced my dash, and reinforced the hell out of the new one in that spot.
