US currency... As in buy a new one. I can't say I've ever seen one repaired that wasn't obviously repaired. I'm sure it's possibly to make one look better, but for the work involved, it's easier to buy one thats not cracked.

One can usually find a used one that is uncracked for $200 but the new ones are twice that. Although it's possible to fiberglass the whole thing (I did mine) I wouldn't recommend it since it is a huge project getting it totally flat.
I fiberglassed mine too. Painted it black then sprayed it with truck bedliner from Harbor Freight. Turned out really nice. It was a big job, but fun too..
wow I didnt even bother to search for a new one, Didnt think it would be available!
Oh, they are...for $600. Which is more than I paid for my '91 T/A. Which has a near perfect dash, as well as a spare near perfect dash. Unfortunately I can't say the same for my '91 RS since apparently they never hold up in Camaros.
Its (almost) always easier to buy something new than repair what you have, but its definately not too much work & worth doing in the end.Just take your time.I redid mine in leather & put t/a grills inplace of the built in camaro grills.

Until I can afford a new dash for my GTA, I bought a dash cap. It don't look far off from the stock dash except for the speaker covers. Definitely looks alot better than the busted up rotted dash under it. It's abs plastic and snapped right in. Most people can't even tell it's a cap. I found it online for around$115 shipped.

I will post a better pic if needed.
Yea those caps are great. I got mine off ebay for i think around 160.00. Never had any one question it, the texture looks almost OEM, and its molded very well to the shape of the dash. Like you mentioned, the only thing thats really different are the speaker grills.
I have toyed with the idea of cutting the speaker holes out and fitting my original grills in there. The texture is almost spot on and it would be hard to tell if I could get the grills in there properly.
My dash was perfect until I thumped the corner of it with my knee getting out of the car on a steep driveway. A couple pieces of the covering flaked off. I am also interested in the viability of a repair, it's such a small spot but it drives me nuts. If not, what about applying adhesive and recovering over the dash without peeling it?
Yes, the HF stuff. I tried some Duplicolor bedliner since the nearest HF is 2 hours away. Hated it. WAY too glossy and didn't like the texture. Held out till I was in town near a HF. Worth the wait. it turned out great..

FireBirds and TA's get to park in the garage. Camaros get to sit outside. I've also found that if I'm in a junkyard looking for front seat belt receivers I look for firebirds. Its that exact same receiver but the firebirds are usually not cracked and broken and the camaros are almost always no good. What gives?
