Default I cracked my dash Help!

well i am a very short tempered person and about a week ago i was having some frustration with my car. Clutch slipping, Squaks, Rattles, etc.
so i got mad and punched my dash right above the 3 aire vents and it cracked about 3 inches long, wat is my best way of fixing this? should i just replace it or try and fix it, and is there a write up on replacing. any hlep would be great here thanks .

I think you'll need to replace the part. I don't know of any way to fix it without making it look worse

I agree, attempting to fix it would look botched.

My steering wheel has some nice lumps in it from the same reason. Broke my pinky once.

replacement, its all one piece. dont expect it to be cheap.

you are going to have to find a car that hasnt had its airbags poped too.. once they go off they rip the dash.
