Fixing Dash?

My dash is cracked in several places and was wondering what are the possible fixes for this, since at the moment i cannot find a replacement. Is there an efficient way to do this myself? Also do body shops fix this, and if so what does this cost. Thanks

I have no experience with repair--and I doubt there is one that would look good. Some members have simply hidden the pad with a cover made expressly for thirdgen cars. If you can live with that, a would provide more info.

coverlay makes a fiberglass/ plastic molding that snaps onto the existing dash. it looks oem, and has all the vents and shapes. it is $130-150ish and worth every penny.
