Mine is cracked in 2 places on my 04 STR. I figured it was due to sun rot.

Looks like a short run business opportunity for someone who can produce a cost effective carbon fiber one...

Mine was cracked when I got the car and would rattle at particular speeds... A few dabs of araldite seem to have fixed it... It looks OK, not perfect but much better that a crack!!

His technicians can fix any dash crack to the point of it being completely invisible when they're done. Average cost is about $50, and somewhat more if there are multiple cracks. Well worth it if you plan to keep the mvehicle for a long time....
