first of all, what year is it?? i know they make stuff to "fill" and "fix" that kinda thing..not sure how well it works tho. as far as a new dash that greatly depends on what year you have, and trim package..ie XLT, lairet, ect..

Yeah, it can probably be fixed. We had a nice chunk missing/crack in the dash of the 75 Trans Am and we took the vehicle to a guy who was able to repair it so that it looks like new. Check the upholstery shops in your area.

Don't get pulled over with crack in your dash!


OK, anyway, I have seen of the bondo thing before and it seems to work out pretty well. They key is eithe rmatching the color of the dash or a good repaint (which I suggest).

**** bought up a company doing a lot of those repair kits.
Repair Products

Most places should be able to get them, and **** usually puts out pretty nice stuff.
