Default Upper dash trim replacement

Just bought a 2004 Grand Prix GTP today with 93,xxx miles on it. Great looking and driving car!
I have 2 problems though; the upper trim panel that had the HUD opening is pretty cracked and rough looking. I found one on eBay, but it’* black.
How much of a pain is it to replace the dash upper trim panel in these cars? Since it’* black, I’m going to need to respect it dark gray to match the rest of the interior trim pieces. Any info as to which paint I should get to get the right color match? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Havent had a Grand Prix in quite a while. My last one was a 2001 GT, back in 2012, had a 2001 GTP for a while before it.

Looks like a great car!

Sorry, I haven't messed with the dash skins very much. I'm interested in what you do and how it turns out!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome. RPO numbers for color codes?

It needs some work! That’* for sure!! I’m just going to break off a piece of plastic (no effort at all, it’* so brittle) and match it up to the right shade of gray, or close enough to it.

Sounds like a good plan. Likely nobody will be able to tell the difference.

Carid makes a dash kit, but I am not sure how easy it is to use.
It would not match the color, but they have some good looking options considering it is peel and stick.....
