Default Dashboard Mats

Basically I havent seen any Dashboard mats that are worth buying. All of the Mats that See are flimsy and not very "appealing". My old C4 had a great Dash Mat, It was firm and looked great, but I havent seen any good ones for the C5 yet... am I just Looking in the wrong place?
Please help! Pics, or links to the website to purchase would be a big help. Lets see what you guys got under the windshield!

BIG Thanks guys!

There was one on my wifes car when we got it. It looked like factory piece and it fit well it just didn't have the velcro on the dash to keep it in place and I didn't want to put velcro on the dash so I took it off. Looks better with out it.

I have one, but only put it in when I'm cleaning the windshield (inside).

I've got one on mine and I think it looks better (not much) than a sun cracked dash. Another bad thing about vette dashmats, they are HUMONGUS!! I don't like to velcro anything down on my dash, but when the top is down and I'm cruising about 70 MPH and the wind is blowing the wrong way, look out!! Sometimes it looks like I'm wrestling with a giant manta ray as I race down the road. Ah, who am I kidding? This thing comes out tomorrow.

Appealing and dash mat don't go in the same sentence.
