dash mat

[neanderpaul]

Anybody have a picture of an actual dash mat in an actual festiva? I'm trying to see how they look. How far down the dash they come etc.

My dad had one in his Festiva... Not sure if it moved over into the 93 that's in the bottom garage or not.

From what I remember, it comes right down to the top of the vent area, but it's been awhile since I've seen it.

Would love a picture if possible.

I remember Festiva GTX had a dash mat and posted pics somewhere, I think it was on one of his project cars

I've been searching dash, dashmat, "dash mat" no dice. Can't search mat because it's too few letters.

I'll get some pics of mine up soon. Good reason to clean the dead insects off Lux's dash area on a nice sunny day.

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Paul, here's a few more views of the same brand, "Dashmat." Mine's personalized, though:









Mine's at least two or three years old and has had a lot of sun. They don't fit as well as in the ads, but I like mine okay.

I like the Bunny! Is that original equiptment/

[Safety Guy]

Ha!

That's Hunnybunny. I had displaced her and her special friend Piglet from the dash for the pics. I am remiss and rebuked! Here they are, returned to their rightful vigel (keeping an eye on me when I'm driving) in Lux:



Technically, they are Walgreen's aftermarket, circa 2006. I must say they've weathered the hot and freezing dashboard environment very well! Piglet's belly shows very little more "pig"ment than his sun kissed back, and Hunnybunny, well, she's kinda white, in case you didn't notice. No tan at all! (I guess fake fur don't tan.)

Hey Paul I have a dark red dash mat that I'd let you have. (It belonged to Dj at one time!)

i dont understand the point. they look awful.

[Safety Guy]

On some cars, they might help protect the dash from sunlight (not needed on Festivas from what I've seen). They provide a soft, somewhat slip-free place to put stuff, they might cut down slightly on some noise (debatable) and some folks do like the way they look.

I can take 'em or leave 'em. I think the one in Luxstiva works because she's my "luxury" Festiva. I don't have any plans to get any more though.
