Default experience with these dash covers?

Does anyone have experience and an opinion of this seller's dash covers? This would be an interim until I put together the funds for a proper leather covering.

Thanks

Mike

Dunno about that vendor, but just for completeness sake, I am very happy with the airbag (90-95) version done in black brushed suede that I got from

http://www.dashmats4less.com

It's two pieces that cover the pod and dash separately. The fit is perfect, and includes the proper cutouts for the vents, dash temp sensor, and a flap for the passenger side airbag. It came with velcro strips to attach to the dash, but I just stuffed the front edge along the base of the windshield. Stays put fine.

It was $52 with shipping, they have chepaer ones in carpet material.

Do you have any pictures of this? It sounds nice.

Mark-

I don't have one on my work computer, I'll shoot a good one and post it tonight. It's a nice 2-piece set, the only thing it doesn't cover is the 'feet' of the A-pillars, but whatever.

did you go with a script on the cover, such as "928 GT" ? If so, what font did you request?

Mike-

No script or anything, I already know it's a GT.

Here are a few shots, the flash washes out the material and makes it look a lot more gray than it is. Since it's just wedged up against the glass, it comes on and off in 3 seconds, I basically use it like one of those solar shades - gotta protect the dash......

Not Bad Rob....
I'll be in for one. This will justify putting off the $700.00 dash leather covering expense for another few years.
