the guy I boughyt mine from tried to take the dash piece out and broke it all to pieces. He put a dash pad over it. It does not look that bad, but I was to replace it with another original piece. I went to the pull a part place here and they had 6 93-98 camaros, all with the dash pieces there, all broke. Every one of them. I tried to lift an edge on one just to see what was under it and it broke off in my hand. Almost like an egg shell...lol...I'm just going to save and buy one off ebay, 93 - 96 Chevy Chevrolet Camaro RS Z28 Dash Board Cover Cap | eBay

You're aware that is just a "cap" right? it silicones over your broken original. im thinking this may be the route i have to go as well, i just hate the fact that the defroster hole is just a big gaping hole. other than that, you probably would'nt be able to tell its a cap instead of the orig. dash. I also found an original NOS dash on ebay the other day but it was 289.00

yeah, thats what I was afraid of, thanks for confirming that. My car does not have the dash cover at all so that would not work. Looks like my only option is dealer.

The easiest way to tell is look at the defroster area, is it one large opening, or does it have the "grating"? all the "caps" have 1 large opening, usually shown with screen inside,( they dont come that way, you have to add your own screen. the OEM pads will have the grated opening.
240 bucks is the cheapest ive seen. i may try to repair mine, and recover it in a color matching vynil like the one post i seen. but im somewhat skeptical for the very same reason, the vent...it will be a real PITA to wrap the vynil in all the little grates.
