I have a plastic overlay that I glued to my old dash. It lookds pretty good. There is some warping on the top, but I think that is due to my crappy glue job. I got mine from LMC. It has been on for about 3 years now. I have had to touch up some of the corners with contact cement to get them to stick. They send a silicone adhesive to attach the overlay. I would probably use a contact cement next time, even though it would be a bear to get it to stick on straight.
You can get a new dash, but it is more expensive, you will probably have to dye it (I don't know how long that lasts). I think the overlay is the best way to go, just make sure you glue it well.
