Has anyone looked into a furry dash cover for their new Camaro? I think this look is hot and protects the dash nicely.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one........my 1999 buick regal came with a dash cover and it was the first thing to go! An elderly lady owned the car before me and i'm sure she thought it was a good idea too!

^Those are lightweight floor mats. Must have shaved a few ounces off the total weight of the car, I'm gonna guess around 20 hp Increase. The back off mats ads 20 more on top of that.

Louvers look best on the 3rd gen, but I would like to see them on a 5th gen. They work good to block the sun from the back seat. IMO the louvers will look good with the plastic fin on the roof.

Dumbass, floor mats make low-end torque, not HP. I got at least 20 ft-lb more torque at 1200rpm when I put those mats in. My dyno chart looks like Calista Flockhart laying down.

Sure you can say that for any ol autozone floor mat. But these bad actors are FLAME floor mats.

So, I say that's worth at least 40 hp for the set in addition to mongo gobs of torque

A shag rug on my dash is probably the last thing I'd ever do to the camaro.

Ok, you know, I forgot that part. That might explain the SUPERSONIC SPEED I sometimes reach... I thought that was because of the cow seat cover, though.

1. My hair is long all around.

2. What's wrong with only listening to those bands? They are the best. I really do listen to them a lot.

3. I don't have a sister.

I can't. The Rabbit isn't allowed to have plaid; that's the sole domain of the GTI.

I guess I could do the Rick Moranis thing, though...

what if they are flaming skull floor mats? (yes I had some for my 78 camaro.... and flaming skulll/crossbones door and rear window decals with a skull shifter knob that had light up eyes... oh, and the skull hitch cover that I adapted to the fuel door that would light up if I was on the brakes or had the turn signal on....lol)

This is the best thread of this still young week and month. Just thought I'd let you know. Things got a little dull after the whole Shunt thing.

Hey wait just a minute. Let's not put Whitesname and GNR in the same thought as a mullet. Some of those songs rock!
