Reworking the Interior

The dash of my car is cracked pretty bad above the steering wheel, so I was looking to replace it. Does anyone know how much a piece like that would cost if (by some odd chance) I can find a used one in my area? Also, has anyone changed it to let me know what all Im in for, since it looks like a really large piece that I would be replacing? Also, the damn radio surround is broke, so should I just find another of the same, or does someone have another option that's cheaper, since Mazda wants over $80 for a piece of fuggin plastic? Thanks again

I think that I have the steering shaft cover you're looking for. IT's pretty easy to change. Send me a PM if you're interested in buying it.

Sorry about the first post... might've been misleading. The part that's cracked is the top of the dash, facing the windshield. Its cracked on the far left, so I used the steering wheel just to describe the location. Anyone else have a problem with the actual dash cracking?

Did you crack the actual dash, or a piece that attaches to it?

Apple Wrecking in Mansfield would charge you ten to fifteen for the dash and three or four bucks for the plastic surround.

do you have the Phone Number and Location of the shop so I can give them a call?

And the part that's cracked once again is the dashboard of the car. It is the topmost piece of dashboard of the vehicle that is approximately 2" in from the bottom of the windshield, but it is the Dash that's cracked, and not a trim piece. That's why I was wondering what kind of options there were to fix it. Thanks for the info guys
