Good quality dash pad
Tried the search function but kept turning up nothing I could use. I want a decent quality dash pad for my 2003 Vert with heads-up display. My dash is in excellent condition but the glare on the windshield from the shiny dash really distracts me in daylight driving. I want a pad that looks good and is easily removable for car shows. Thanks in advance.

Just a suggestion, but before you buy a dashpad, you might try taking a moist rag with a little mild dishwashing soap on it and wipe down the top of the dash area to remove any protectant that may be on there. Follow up with just a moist rag then with a dry one. That just might make your dash less shiny and reduce the glare. If it still is too much for you, then invest in the dash pad.

Bought one for my vert. I use it when the car is parked for anytime I consider long with the top up or down. It is not the reflection that bothers me, it is the sun's rays on the dash.
