Default 1990 Honda Accord LX Sedan Dash Bezel cracked. Please help.

Hello guys,
This car is old but it's been in the garage most of its 19 years until a year ago when I bought it. It's in excellent condition but the black dash trim bezel that hold the speedometer and the stereo is cracked. It's cracked at the vents areas and the stereo area. The biggest cracks are at the left top and bottom surrounding the stereo. The cheapest place I can find it is used on Ebay for $79.00 plus $25 shipping. I really don't want to pay for that. I am thinking about using some kind of super stick glue but don't know which type to use. I have used Epoxy and no luck as it cracked again after 6 months of less.
Please help.
Thanks,

Thanks for the idea but I have no idea how to do what you just suggested? How do you fiber glass it? Are you suggesting that the remove the whole bezel and replace it with a fiber glass one then bondo it on? Do you have any pics or suggestion on where and how I can do this?
Where can I buy the fiberglass cloth or fabric? Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace Hardware?
Thanks,

My area has a lot of Hondas and Toyotas owners so I always end up with the completely stripped ones.
