Angry There's a dent on my dash :(

I don't think there is much I can do but heres what happened. My buddy sitting in the passenger seat while holding a large wirecutter, hit the dash by mistake (if this isn't the dash please correct me) on the panel above the glovebox. It is the part where the dash is kinda soft. Anywho there are two dent (they look like teeth marks) and where it dents the plastic is kinda cut. Its an odd place to sticker over it and its very noticable. I was considering getting some foam and stuffing it in. Anyone got any suggestions.

Hi mos_skeeto,
What about that stuff that you see on TV every now and then thats supposed to fix vinyl and leather ?
I`ve never used it but it might work. Can`t remember the name , only that it comes in a kit that lets you blend colors to match and I think there is one that even comes with a small disc-like heater to help bond and cure the patch.
Best of luck , sorry to hear about your dash , when I picked up my 03 Civic EX the "prep-guy" cleaned the radio with a dirty rag and now I have "hair-line scratches" on the face plate. The dealer offered to replace and install a new radio I figured I would just try to use some plastic polish or scratch remover rather than taking the whole dash and console out . It might not go back the same way or I might have sqeaks or chasing some other problem so I`ll find something someday or just live with it !!

if the vinyl repair kit doesn't work and it still *really* bugs you, you can shell out $104.60 and order a new dash pad from majestic honda over the net.
