Dash Pad Options
So my dash has completely cracked. I read the review for the $400 replacement not being "perfect" so I looked and read about the dash pad covers that you glue over top.
Is this a viable option or should I just pony up the cash to buy a new dash pad and install it?

Re: Dash Pad Options
Can you post a pic of your dashpad? They can be fixed. If not you may find a good used one. Even if used one needs a little work (spray paint) it will be cheaper than $400.

Yeah I can take a few pictures tomorrow in the daylight.
I read some of the threads on here about the fixes, I could easily do the vinyl or fiberglass fixes but I kinda want to keep the original texture.

Re: Dash Pad Options
yeah i have 2 of them right now, they both have a tiny crack in the driver's side corner. one of them is barely noticable and the other one you can see a little of the yellow stuff peeking through.
