Default Pictures added! Suggestions? decal/sticker/refridgerator magnet to cover hole in dash

I have a couple cracks and missing dashboard material in a roughly 3" x 5"
area of the face of my passenger side dash panel. I'm thinking that If might be covered with something like "Volvo Cross Country", or Volvo IPD, or Volvo All Wheel Drive Sticker Or similar. Its about 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide.

EDIT: 1/27/14: See my pics below of a few new ideas I had for something to glue on to the dash and cover my cracked area.

1-Dash cracks
2-Rubbermaid auto storage bag
3-dashtop sticky pad for cell phone, radar detector etc.
4-CD storage pocket designed for sun visor.

Any suggestions?

Come on guys,.....need some ideas. I can't put the giant happy face refridgerator magnet that came on it back on,......surely there is something more appropriate,.....more Volvo All Wheel drive specific......?

Anyone?

Not sure of cost, but you could you get a vinyl graphics company to make something custom.

Maybe you could use the "Cross Country" vinyl graphic from the tailgate of an XC...probably too big, though...hmmm

Default OK, I've uploaded some pics

Finally got around to taking a few pics of my dash crack and a few ideas I had on how to cover up the crack and missing dash material areal Check out my pics in my first/original post.

Get a cheap, small (7") tablet, load Torque Pro, and an OBD bluetooth reader for it, and you'll have a glass cockpit that gives you loads of real-time data on what's going on with your engine, etc. It'll look geeky, but will impress motorheads and other nerds. You could also use it for navigation if it's GPS capable.

Or maybe you just replace the dash... (probably a lot of work, but worth it given what your current dash looks like).
