Dashboard Cracked! What are my options?
So I have a 2005 G Sedan 6MT, and when I bought the car there was a few cracks in the leather on the dash but I didn't pay much attention to it. Recently the cracking has gotten worse and it just looks ugly. I called the dealership and they told me $800 for the new dash, then another $600-$700 for the installation. I have contacted various junk yards in my area and I have been unsuccessful in finding a match. Do I have any other options? I have thought about reupholstering, but I am afraid it will be to hard to match the leather color and texture also I'm afraid it will look cheap. Please help, I really hate it but I don't want to have to drop $1500 for something that's purely aesthetic.

I made a video because it was too hard to get pictures of the cracks. Not shown is the crack that extends the entire length of the bottom of the dash.

What sucks is that all of the leather in my car is perfect, it is just the dashboard. I imagine it gets the hottest but I haven't heard of anyone else with this issue.
