Get to your local Advance Auto, they don't stock them but will order it for you. Costs about $35.00, made by coverking, takes about a week and a half to arrive since they make them on order. Velour looks 100% better than carpet.

those dash mats look like ****. buy a new upper dash pad for $200 and have it wrapped in leather at a local shop. or just tint your windows and t-tops to keep out the UV rays that destroyed the original one

i once bought a velor dash mat for my old z28 and to be honest it looked like complete ****, typical redneck way of fixing things. I say try fixing yours upper instrument panel with some fiberglass and wrap it with alcantara or suede or leather... just don't waste money on a piece of **** dash mat....if you decide not to fix it or if its too broken to fix just get a fabric and throw it on.

Good site, I think a lot of people want dashmats just for the fact that it would prevent cracking and i cant see jack when my dash is clean.

exactly,its to prevent the dashpad from fading/cracking and keeps it clean whats the point of covering up something that is already fouled up lol. i put a towl over the seat bottom of my white leather seats,that doesnt mean i have a tear in the seat

Dashmats are a horrible idea... They are so tacky.

Id rather leave a cracked dash pad, then put carpet to cover it.


I wish i could find words to express how much that makes me cringe...



Towels on the seats?!?!? what are you 90?

This isn't a park avenue... Its a sport car.

Id be embarrassed... you should to.

The same as bra's...


Okay, ive made my point. im done with this thread.

Bras damage paint, thats always a no go but a person that takes care of his car anally retentively is wise and not embarrising. Remember, "prior planning prevents **** poor performance"

I don't know what part cracked on you but a friend of mine recently purchased a nice dash mat on eBay that only covered the plastic part of the dash eliminating overhang on the front of he dash and allowing a good armor-all to still be seen. I don't know who sold it but you might check there too.

Yeah, what do you guys think about this one? All it covers is the cracked pad its self. I am going to replace my cracked pad eventually, but until then I would like to cover it up. Because it drives me ******* crazy knowing the crack is there. (Corner actually broke off in 12 pieces)

That is exactly what I was talking about. I looked but didn't find it. I need one too since my heater cracked mine last winter.

interesting. mine is growing a small crash and is getting bigger and my car is garage kept with only 40k miles. that one doesnt look too bad. i may buy that just to lay over the dash when i leave it in the sun. haha.

ninjai_ruken

Yeah, mine has 44k miles on her. @#$@ cheap *** plastic


EDIT: Expensive, Cheap Plastic

I'd just wrap it in leather or vinyl. The carpet dash mats just look out of place to me on newer cars

ninjai_ruken

Not an option, cracked into little pieces not able to put back together and wrapped. This is a temporary fix, As I cant drop 200$ just for an interior piece right now. Probably wont be able to pick up a new piece until next spring 2011. (Headed out for Afghanistan in Aug)

Well Ninjai, thank u for ur service! I grew up in a family of military pol. But back on track, I just ordered that cover. Last I checked when I bought mine there are only 6 left.

Velour is a material similar to what you see on sunvisors and headliner....
