customkover's dash mat

Ordered a 1982-1992 Camaro Dash Mat off Ebay for 18$ plus shipping.
Took 2-3 days with priority mail.
When it came there was some threads unraveling and after hours of installation it wasn't cut correctly, but for the price it was worth it.
The carpeting is very high quality.
Didn't come with any adhesives so i spend 20 bucks on velcro.
It sits alright but im going to need more velcro for it to sit flush.
Great color and improvement. Overall 8/10.
(Just Remember you get what you pay for, and for the price you cant beat this dash mat.)
If you are interested they are on ebay named customkover's they do many covers.

Re: customkover's dash mat

You should have checked out my dash pad covers on eBay and on my website. Mine are a little bit more expensive, but they come with velcro and I use the best quality carpet you can buy. Just a thought for anybody else looking to get a dash pad cover for their car. I am now putting embroidered logos on them also. If you want to see a couple of pictures of the ones with the embroidered logos on them, just checkout my website, but I have alot more logos if your interested. Just shoot me an email and I can send some pictures.

Re: customkover's dash mat

i just bought a black dash pad cover with a gold bird stitched in and the product is excellent..... it fits perfectly onto my dash and made my interior much better looking... it even has speaker cut outs for you to cut and they are dead on.. the gold bird matches all of the "gold" markings inside of the gta interior... it really does look like its a factory peice.... I would highly recommend covergirls dash pad... oh and did i say it completely got rid of all the glare... : )

Here are a couple of pics. Two have a different color bird on them and the on installed on the car is plain without the logo.

Re: customkover's dash mat

Any Reason why?
I found it easy and effective, just very expensive.

Re: customkover's dash mat

I think I'll be getting one of her dash covers soon. Gotta cover those cracks lol. How far does it cover the dash? One of my corners are chipped and I was wondering if it would cover that.

Re: customkover's dash mat

It only covers the top section out to the very edge. It does not hang over the edge if that is what your asking.

Re: customkover's dash mat

Just in case you were wondering.
My Cheap-o Dash mat covers the cracks very well.
Hangs over just enough, i have some cracks in the same place.
Covergirl just thought i'd let you know.
I loved your work so much i looked your town up on google maps to see how far it was to drive. Its wicked far, but in the future i'll definitely be buying some parts from you.

You don't have to use the velcro. It will stay in place without it.

Re: customkover's dash mat

hey covergirl, if I was to have you make a dash mat for my 91 RS with a 95 dash, can you custom embroider RS into it, like my avatar is?

Re: customkover's dash mat

Yes, I can. I just have to find out from the embroidery shop how much it would cost to make those letters. Let me find out and I will get back with you.
Thanks

Re: customkover's dash mat

So theres nothing that you have to stick to your dash pad to keep the mat down? Thats exactly what I'm looking for.

Re: customkover's dash mat

Hi, they come with velcro, but you only have to use it if you want to. Usually people don't use the velcro. The pad stays in place with out it because I have had one on my car for three years and it has never come off.

Re: customkover's dash mat

If you order from her, expect to wait.Shes been promising to build me a set for over a year.She's got my money & i have nothing yet.Everytime i asked her for an update.She always has something else happening in her life.She tells shes been sick for the past year,yet there is NO mention of it on her website.Other "reasons" given at various times were, hospitalised & moving!She also told me she'd refund my money @ 100 a week & has yet to only give one payment in the past 4 weeks.Her work might be good, but her comitment to deliver, lacks!Total disappointment, dont expect to get anything soon if you order from her.
