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 know a guy that punched his rear view mirror. TWICE!!!!!!! Both times it not broke the rear view mirror but also the force punched the holder into the windshield and broke it as well.

First thing you need to do is get your clutch problem fixed so you don't get pissed and bust up your replacement.

Rip out the interior and put in a cage, race seats, and an engine big enough to need them... that should take care of your anger managment problems.

I'd never do something stupid like that because I know I'd have to replace it...

I'd much rather spend money on mods

I'd never hit my f-body, but on my truck hitting the steering wheel seems to work well for me. I don't know how to fix a cracked dash...I fixed mine on my 87 and painted it black and it turned out good, but I can't imagine it working well on something like that.

I say leave it, so every time you see it, it can remind you how "not so smart" that was. Maybe it will help with your anger issues if you have to live with the consequences of your actions.

this is some funny ****!!! i think the dash will prob have to be replaced or you can take out the one you punched the **** out of and get some putty or something to cover the crack and just paint it black.
