I have one, dashmat I think is the company that makes good ones. I got it from summit it was around $30-$40 I can't remember. I like the way it looks and being that my whole interior is black it blends in well. If you come by one of the west palm meetings on sundays you can look at mine and see if you like it.

Have the dash and floor mats embroidered. They are expensive...but they are the best by far IMHO. The quality of the materials is amazing...like nothing else I've ever seen.

Got mine from CarMotorsports also - nice quality - fits great (after it flattened out initially from being folded into that small shipping box). Embroidered in PS airbag area.

I got one from dashhugger.com

Very nice with all the seams bound and perfect fit. And the stitching is flush above and underneath, guaranteeing a nice flat fit. $48 bucks shipped. They also do embroidery if you want.

If anyone is interested, I have a DashMat I purchased through Global Accessories for my 1999 Firebird WS6 Convertible. It is what they call Grey (Color number 47) and I paid $39.95 plus $3.75 shipping for it. The car is normally garaged and I would say the DashMat was only on the car for two weeks or less. The Grey is too light for my tastes. Apparently I should have ordered Smoke (Color number 76). I really like the fact that it dramatically cuts down on the glare off the dash. There are no logos or embroidery on it. If anyone is interested, I will sell it for $25.00 shipped to the contiguous 48 states. If you need it shipped someplace else, PM me and I will check what that would cost. I am located near Dallas, TX.
