Folks, where's the best place to find a good quality carpet/velour dash cover in black?

I ordered one from Amazon.com. It's by Dashman. It was $34.95. Has not been received yet. As soon as it shows up, I'll give a full review with photos.

Brad, Mike,

I just got the Dashman cover through Amazon, it is a real nice piece for the pod and dash, fits perfect.

I've looked into these also and I'm curious what peoples thoughts are on the Carpet versus the Brushed Suede. Price is not much of a difference $35 vs $40. I'm leaning toward the Suede unless someone else recommends against it.
Thanks for the advice.

If you are getting water in your tail lights, check above the stop lamp. I bet it is cracked.
Hmm, I'm sure you would want to repost this in another thread Yea, looking for the dash cover pictures too...

Cheers!

Here are the pics I took. It came a few days earlier than expected so that was good. overall the product looks likes it good quality. However, they provided way too little velcro. I would make sure you have plenty of velco strips by the roll no longer than 1/2" in width. Most of it needs to be in the vent area (top and bottom and in the middle) to help prevent the carpet from bulging up in areas.

Here you go...

Hmm so you need to attach velcro to your dashboard to mount the cover? I was hoping for something that would not require making any permanent mounts on car parts...
