Default Dash Board Has A Crack In It !!!!!!

I have about a 4 inch crack in my dash board behind the airbag on the passenger side, just to the right of that vent in the center. I was furious when I saw this, just due cause I baby my car.

Anyway, who can help me out in where I can get a replacement part. My car is as 98 with the grey interior.

Thanks for any replies in advance.

Try searching for vehicles being parted out on the site or in junk yards.

check junk yards, look on here for used pads, i think gm might still make them but they are pricey.

I saw a COUPLE on flea-bay yesterday for $200 for the WHOLE dash pad! Seemed like a steal to me...

Over a grand, forget that. No I dont want a cover, I want to replace the dash. I guess my best bet is to find a car that is being parted out. Thanks for tips guys.

I'll be searching.

Good luck on the hunt!

take it out, epoxy it closed, do a little bit of sanding and the wrap it in a nice vinyl/leather like material, should look good.

That piece is crached TWICE on the WS6 I just bought, but I plan to JB Weld the cracks, cut some flames out of cardboard, lay the flames over the plastic, then fiberglass over the whole thing before smoothing and painting. Will give me raised flames on my dash! Swat
