Cracked Dash, Yes I searched

Like I said... Yes I searched and came up with very little. I'm just trying to figure out which road to take here. Find a new one in good shape, slap a cover on it, or??? Open to sugestions. Any input is appreciated

new = permanent fix.
cover = cosmetic fix.
platic weld = suggestion. (not a good one, but suggestion none the less)

New= from LMC? If I do that I want a whole new dash not one of those pads. LMC is hard to navigate on a phone

Yeah Ill probably end up doing that eventually. Ill probably just throw a dash rug on it for awhile. Finding stuff like that down here has always proved diffivult

First I've heard of a cracked dash in a 2nd Gen. Seems as all the auto manufacturers have pretty much figured out the dash cracking problem in the last 20 or so years.
