Any body put a dash mat on their camaro???

I had one in my truck and loved it

I could throw anything up on the dash and not worry about scratching it or what not.

Just wanna hear your guys thoughts about one and if anyone has piks that would be awesome

Actually, a dash mat can save your beautiful dash. I lived for 20 years in sunny California and the last 5 years in hot and sunny Central Texas, parking the cars outside in the sun can destroy just about any interior. With a dash mat, my '85 Corvette's dash is still like new. I have one for my 2SS/RS when ever I have to park it outside for an extended period of time. Otherwise, I take it off once I have it inside the garage the rest of the time.

Can someone post a picture of it???...I don't know what it is, but it sounds like a great idea...

Yeah do you have a picture of yours or can you take one.
Also where did you order it from???

I use to consider a dash mat a must have for any car when I was living in the dry sunny deserts of the southwest.

I am still waiting for my camaro to arrive, but just looked at a dash mat online...still undecided about purchasing one now since I don't have the extreme heat to deal with where I live now. Not having one just "feels" strange, Haha!

Taz_FL · 03-29-2010, 04:23 PM

you can always use a sunshade when parking it, just mentioning another option.

bigbone · 03-29-2010, 04:45 PM

use shag carpet

kbui · 03-29-2010, 04:47 PM

Sun Shade would be OK, but having to put it on and take it off constantly (7-8 times a day) can get to you. I used to have sun shade in California as well as car cover. Now I don't have to as I park my cars in the garage most of the times. However, with 3 cars garage and 6 cars, I do have to keep the SS outside for a few days at a time on occasion.

I got my from anythingauto.com. It looks better without the dash mat so I don't take pictures with it on. However, you do have to do what you must to protect your baby.

sun shade is the way the go imho

I don't think he is worried about just the sun damage, He said he wanted the dash mat so

here are a couple, They say they are for the Camaro but in the pictures they are on different cars. I think those are just to show what they look like.
