Favorite Dash Mat?
My birthday is coming up and the kids are always asking what I want. Well, I want a nice dash mat
Can you recommend one that's not cheap and flimsy? I would prefer one with the logo embroidered on it. If you have pics of yours, I'd love to see them.
TIA!

I put one on my Lexus and everyone gave me crap about it.
In the vette I could see covering up the dash since it's not that nice.
Why do you want one for sun protection or looks? I think it's an old fashion thing, may cheapen the look of the interior more
Of course you didnt ask for my opinion just pictures. Wanted to throw in those points to help though

Opinions are good! I have a 'vert and the dash gets a lot of glare on it. That's the only reason for the mat

I put one in my 2000 vert shortly after I bought it back in 2004 because the Sun in a vert is very hard on the dash. I believe it's a Lloyd's and it's very good quality.

I'd use a damp wash cloth to clean the dash not anything that will make it shine like armorol or leather wipes. That may help, as well as a good pair of polarized sun glasses to cut out the glare
If you still need one LLoyds makes great stuff, I agree

Yes it is a C5 logo, It is made by Dash Mat, It came that way.
Logo is centered on this one.
