Yes, there is.  That's what I'm planning for mine, in fact.  There's a cover 
made that costs around $130.00 US; I don't know the manufacturer, but any 
decent upholstery shop or aftermarket trim supplier should be able to hook you 
up.

You can also try Barrack's Auto in Charleston, WV, if you can't find it 
locally.  I don't know the number, but if all else fails, you can e-mail me 
privately or to the list, and I'll look it up for you.  They'll be glad to ship 
it.

Back to the subject of the dash cover:  It fits over the top, coming down over 
the lip around 3/4".  There's a noticeable seam, of course, but it's much less 
objectionable than all the cracks.  There are two styles made, the best being 
a semi-rigid plastic just like the dash.  The other style is carpet, which is 
much cheaper but way hokier IMHO.

Good luck!
