Default Does anybody have pictures of a suede dash cover/pad?

I really want to look into this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DASH-...item35a8f34e92

But I don't know how it would look, I couldn't find anything after searching, i'm sure somebody has tried this look

I think the carpet dash pads look pretty bad, but after seeing the pictures on other cars, the suede ones look pretty decent.

Appreciate the help

I'd rather have a cracked dash than something like that...

I have one through Lindsey Racing. Sorry I don't have pics, but they may have some on their website. Not sure if they are still carrying it, I have had for a few years now.

I saw the Lindsey Racing ones they look pretty decent, but they aren't suede are they?

Yeah, you're right, I think they are calling them micro-suede or something like that. Have you tried Classic 9 (http://www.928leather.com/)? I know they do a lot of custom work.

They look like a good option but I am wondering how great this ebay suede mat would be if it is custom cut to fit a 944 well

Looks like you need to be the guinea pig and let us all know.

marketing text is a load of bull

Cools your vehicle's interior temperature by blocking UV rays from heating-up your dash


BS. windshields are already treated for UV Block. besides UV rays don't heat up the dash. it's Infrared that heats up the dash.

bought one a couple weeks ago for my 968. fits alright and looks pretty good. better than a cracked dash imo... not a permanent solution however. worth 40 bucks to not be embarrased everywhere you go. those that don't know these cars assume its original and those that know, know how much a cracked dash can cost to replace... i have the black micro-suede. will post pics tomorrow if you'd like

That would be great.

I was thinking about getting one just to protect my nearly crack free dash...
