i havent seen the kit myself, but assuming that the dash is not bumpy and any cracks r filled and sanded down, it should work. is the kit to repair a vinyl dash? if so, then i would have no idea.

When I bought my 92 RS, the dash had a crack on the corner of the driver's side so my dad bought one of those kits. It didn't work. It looked better than it did, but still no where near great. If you have a crack on the flat part of the dash pad, it can work. It comes with textured pieces, so you just mix up the goop stuff, but it in the crak over a piece of material they give you, put the textured thing on it and heat it. If you have a crack on a corner, I wouldn't try it, its a real pain. Good luck.

Well with the kit and some time you can probably get the 2 cracks from top to bottom to not look that bad at all, if you're really determined you can probably get it looking normal. But the corners are really difficult to work with, so my advice is electrical tape

Actually, electrical tape won't stick to the dash, so I guess you're outta luck.
