Well with the help of a few people on this forum I've managed to replace my old busted trim piece (the part around the gauges and radio) and put a new one in. Well that and the help of a donor at a salvage yard. I'm hoping the pics will show, but this is what I was dealing with, and what I ended up with.
-Thanks for the help

By the way, could anyone tell me how to replace the cracked beige piece close to the windsheild? (Picture #2 for reference)
"The Desperate Disease Requires A Dangerous Remedy."
get the cover replacement it bonds ontop of the busted peice or take the whole thing out its one peice. also what happened to f up ur dash that bad and that way?
that top part of the dash dose not come off its actully part of the whole lower dash, so u would have to replace the whole lower dash shell.
Well, how it got broke the first time, is the day before I bought the car someone busted out the driver side window and stole the CD player, in the midst of it all they shattered the dash. And then one time I got pissed and slammed my fist against it.
But it's back to looking like a new...almost. And about the dash cover...I rememeber something somewhere about "Dash Mats". Are they decent? Or a waste and look like trash?
"The Desperate Disease Requires A Dangerous Remedy."
the mats are to cover up the part you had to take off to get to the gauge bezel (the part you just replaced) i don't think they go up the dash far enough to cover up the cracked parts
Don't you bottom out?
- Yes I do
Hey Ranger, I really like the pics. Got me thinking about getting one, I'll have to find a beige one to keep everything matched. But I appreciate the info. Thanks.

no offence but that just looks tacky to me i would still like to know other options on how to fix it mine is broke to i thought about fiber glass but i don't want to take the whole dash out what ideas you guys got
You have four options...
1. Fiberglass it by either taking the whole dash out or trying to do it with it in(a cluster@!#$ to say the least)
2. Buy the plastic cover that snaps on and looks OEM for over $100
3. Buy a $30 dash mat and put it on using double sided tape
4. Deal with the crack(s) like I did for a year
Take your pick
