Default Glove Box Repair question

Hey guys, haven't been on in a while but I have a question that some of you might be able to help with. Today, a friend of mine accidentally poked a hole in my glove box while we were trying to move some stuff. The leather has torn and there is a hole about the size of a penny. Just wondering if the best bet for the problem would be to get a new glove box panel entirely or try to go to a leather repair.

Also, my dad drove the sc into a basketball pole, and now there is a dent with paint chipping off. Anyone have any success repairing pearl white paint? I'll take pictures later tomorrow.

Thanks in Advance

First off make your dad pay for the paint. Secondly I would find one in the forums or ebay and just replace it.

Yeah the paint isn't that big of a deal since I'm going to get it fixed, I just don't want it looking like crap since I know pearl white is really hard to match with the three layer coat. Also, I have a tan interior, but I think i'm going to call one of those leather repair guys tomorrow and see how it goes.
