    Dash cover recommendations?

    Anyone recommend a nice dash cover for my 91 e30 vert? Looking for a plain black one.

    Id like a cover for my 91 vert's dash too. Have been wondering how these look IRL.

      I noticed those too. They seem nice, but I'm looking for the 'old school' carpeted ones.

        The lady in the pictures has bigger problems than a cracked dash.

            The Coverlay ones look pretty good in pictures, but I bet pictures do not properly convey how it truly looks. I have a feeling it will look a lot like the nicer leather steering wheel covers you can stitch on. They look pretty good in pictures, but in person, it looks like a steering wheel cover...

            Sorta like with the fake leather textured, hard brittle plastic door panels you see on econoboxes. Looks OK in pictures, in person looks and feels cheap.

            If the return policy is good, certainly seems worth ordering to me. Worst case just ship it back.

            Please don't do that. Flocking and filling in cracks would look a million times better than the awful cloth/carpet covers.

              I think the carpet ones are very period correct and look pretty good.

              This place has several:

                  My friend had a carpeted dash. It looks like a 90 year old person drives the car to bingo on a Friday night.

                    I just put the dash mat in a car I have. It fits as expected but will require a lot of extra tape to get it down.
