      Unless you can find a good one....

      Dash suggestion...

      Maybe add a top metal speaker grill? Larger than the damaged area.

      It should hide the ugly parts?
      Repaint the dash with SEM camel .. and spray the speaker cover as well.

      Good luck....

        Right on. Best option would be justdashes.com I suppose. I'll probably do what you suggested though... Thanks!

                              I thought about that too. Still may consider it. Whatever I do I'll have to be good with for awhile as once the windshield is back in I won't want to mess with it again.
