Default Busted up dash

I have a 98 ram 1500 4x4 the dash is all cracked and busted up. Ilive in Florida and this is a problem here from the sun. I wanted to know if any one new the cheapest place to get a replacment dash. i have seen the plastick covers in catalogs. are they worth it or should i get the whole thing. right now it has a carpit cover so i dont see the holes but im tired of the squiking when i go over bumps.

Dont get a stupid cover, fix it right with a new replacement dash. Usually new Mopar replacement dashes come up on eBay for around $300.

My dad has a shop discount so I got mine for like $240 from the dealer. No since in paying what would be 30% of the purchase price to fix it right in order to cover up the problem.
