do they make bondo or some type of bodyfiller for plastic. Ive got a couple cracks in my dash and what i was going to do was take the dash out, and put the body filler over the cracks then sand it down. it would take away the texture of my dash but at least i wouldnt have any cracks. any reply would be helpful.

yea, ive already tried those. all it is is some type of glue you cover the cracks with then paint over it. it doesnt work well at all. some type of body filler would do the job. i just dont know if they make them for plastics.

the good ones have an iron and some pieces of paper that you put on it to make the texture similar to stock... they are a pain in the ass to do good work with.

dude, do you realize how much of an oxymoron that is. I really don't know why, but it's funny. Guess I've been in the desert too long.

don't forget to keep the recipt from the junkyard or swap your vin plate though, just incase you get pulled over or someone at an inspection place questions the different vins on it.

ooh! Good catch, I completely forgot about that. BTW, where is the backround on your sig? It looks so familiar, but not.

Yokota, I've spoke with MRMeph before via PM. I rolled up to Atsugi for something and somehow ended up turning around on his street. Never really saw each other, 'cept I saw his car and he saw me driving mine. Kinda funny if you ask me.

or be really good, take the vyn al off the whole dash, go get fiberglas resin and spread it over the whole thing, sand and paint
