Help! Scratched dash pretty bad....

:(

I was removing the center speaker (sounds better btw) and I dropped the magnet onto the dash and it took about a 1 inch gouge/scratch out of the dash. Of course its right in my line of sight and I'm a perfectionist so It KILLS me. My question is:

Are there any nice aftermarket dash covers for our car made out of leather or something? What about a compound or something that can fill the scratch?

A trip to your local interior shop should yield a fix. Had a similar issue on my Mustang-they fixed it right up!

Thanks guys! I didn't see any interior shops online but maybe some body shops double as an interior shop?

why would you remove the center speaker, are you replacing it or something?

I just wanted it disconnected. Center channel speakers are acoustically incorrect unless your receiver (headunit) supports Dolby Digital 5.1 or 7.1. With a stereo source it makes no sense and the center channel disconnected helps the sound IMO and the stereo effect is back. Unfortunately it left that scratch...
