W123 Dash Cover review
Don't know if I am allowed to name the company that makes this product but you can probably make it out if your eyes are good.
Many of you with cracked dashes know how terrible it is to look at. I couldn't take looking at my blue dash that was totally trashed and had to put something on it. I went on their website and ordered Plush Velour in Dark Blue. It took them a few days to make the cover then another few days to ship it. I think the total cost was under $50. The fit is really well. I'd say it's almost perfect to the point where you aren't going to notice if it's a few MM off. The only thing I wasn't crazy about is that they don't give you nearly enough velcro to stick this thing down. I had to go buy a roll and I still need more to make it a tighter fit. Another thing is that if you are lucky enough to have a perfect dash and want to cover it, you probably don't want to glue velcro strips to it because it will leave glue residue on it. So for the price and what you get, this is easily a 9/10 product. Photos: Showed up at my door and this is what rolled out. Here is my dash before: After

That looks great! Can you do me a favor and PM me the name of the product? I was unable to make it out.
My blue dashboard is equally trashed as yours. I used to have a hard plastic blue cover, but it never fit right and it rattled while driving sometimes, so I took that off and am looking at a cracked mess again... P.S. What's all that stuff hanging out your left center vent?...

Wow, they have a ton of different color and fabric choices. Only $50 for brushed suede? I'm in.

A tip for keeping the mats crisply fitting. Spray the back side of the mat with some spray starch, place in position, allow to sit in direct sun or use a heat gun on low to create a snug fit.

Yeah. I was surprised at the price. $48 for the suede or velour. I was afraid of the Poly Carpet because it looks like it would trap dirt and dust under it.
