Default Should a get a New Dash or Dash Kit?

I cracked my dashboard just above the center vents a few years ago. I was trying to get the CD player to work in very cold weather and it cracked. I'm just now starting to get over it. I tried to repair it with a vinyl repair kit and I failed miserably. The crack goes around a tight curve into the vent and is difficult to make it look right. I found a guy on ebay selling a dash from a 94. I'm wondering if I should buy that dash or buy a dash kit. I have not yet found a dash kit that would cover the area that is cracked.

Id do a new dash, because its going to look right. A dash kit is a risk

id take the dash and have it recovered in leather or suede. Its not too much more expensive than youll spend on the new dash. I dont think. I was quoted $250 for real leather in whatever color or combo i wanted for my dash but now i want suede.then get your door panels done as soon as you can and youd be ahead of %95 of us as far an interior goes!

I really like this idea. I will definitely look into that.
