front dash replaceable?

Is the front dash board replaceable? Im talking about the part that spans the whole front of the interior where the A/C , clock, and temp sit. Nothing is wrong with the electronics. My dog put a nice claw mark in it and now it looks terrible.

Let me know
Thanks!

any idea best place to get a new one? I Was thinking of trying to find a totaled G and getting it from there, was expecting the dealership to charge a ton, but haven't priced it out yet.

Most cars that are totaled have the airbags deployed. So I would say be careful on that, but ebay has some here and there. They are kinda expensive. I had mine covered with leather not to long ago, cost a touch over 100 dollars, and looks awesome. If there are no gouges or things like that just re cover it. Is pretty easy.

OEM is going to run you approx $800 + shipping so if you can have it recovered, or even repaired at a local shop, that might be your best bet

Thats a good idea, i'll have to look up some auto upholstery shops in my area. I took 2 pics of the problem areas, Do you think the leather would show the small hole?

Nope. A good shop will be able to recover it no issues at all. It's not to bad.
