I bought mine with one of those on the dash. Flip side to the ugly thing is that it kept the dash in perfect condition.

Of course, it didn't even make it home. When I stopped for gas it went in the trash.

Did the cars ever come with carpet dash pads from the factory or was that an after thought type of thing. I see them in classic industries. Just wondering.

Saw one at pull-a-part that had a white leopard patterned dash cover, headliner, and seat covers. Sadly the dash was trashed under the cover.

That sh!tbox was on ebay last month. It was a POS nasty early 90's Mazda 626 with body damage and a stupid tape stripe. The clown was asking something like $4k or more for it.

I would think all that would be too distracting regardless of where or not it was tasteful. Like that one guy with the white zebra dash. I think I would go blind being in either car.
