Imagine you live in AZ and have temps over 110 degrees for 30 days at a time with 105 degree breaks inbetween

Now what mat would you use?

Well i'm not kidding.I use a black one and the only reason I do is because the glare on the windshield from the black dash is so bad at times that I actually lose complete sight of the hiway and that scares the h*** out of me.I am small and sit way down in the seat and this may contribute to the fact that I get so much glare.Sorry no pics.If anyone knows of a product that will cut the glare without a rug let us RUGrats know

The dash mat was one of the first things I removed from the '03 I just bought. Does it count if I post a pic of it on the ground?
