Questions About Dash Cover

01Lightning · November 24th, 2011, 07:38 PM

My mechanic told me that I should get a dash cover of some sort to protect the dashboard on my 2001 Mustang. The dash looks great now, and it isn't cracked or chipping or peeling or discolored. I'd like to keep it that way, should I take his advice and get a dash cover? My parents Kia has a dash that is lifting and peeling terribly, I don't want that to happen to mine.

I've researched that Coverking Custom Dash covers are good, and only $30 in any color. Do any of you have pics of any dash covers on Mustangs? I'd really appreciate some pictures so I can decide what I want to do.

Thanks in advance.

never have used a cover...i just keep it clean and use a non greasy protectant like meguires...besides i think covers look tacky

01Lightning · November 24th, 2011, 09:19 PM

Yeah, I thought they may have looked sort of bad, but I honestly have never seen one on a Mustang, and I couldn't find any pictures

Hell, it's been in Florida since 2001 and it's in great shape, I guess its fine.

lol yeah it's survived the heavy sun and salty air...just keep it well maintained and you're set

01Lightning · November 24th, 2011, 10:03 PM

OK, its settled then, no dash cover.

I completely agree with 6er, dash covers look so tacky.

+1, take care of the dash and a cover is not needed

Xzavier247 · November 25th, 2011, 06:22 PM

Yeah had one on it looked gay and I took it off

01Lightning · November 25th, 2011, 07:19 PM

If it looks gay then I don't want to waste $30 dollars on it. Thanks for the answers.

Just take care of your Dash, Clean it and Detail it whenever you wash the rest of the car, And unless you Crash, Your dash shouldnt crack to my knoledge.

Nice car By the way.

01Lightning · November 25th, 2011, 07:40 PM

Haha, I don't plan on crashing any time soon.

Now if I could just fix the door panel things, they are sort of loose, seems like the glue stuff is wearing off, any ideas for a quick fix?

It will eventually crack if the car is left out in the sun a lot, but to my knowledge our dashes are less susceptible to cracking than vehicles like the 2G Eclipses (hell, the corners of their air bags peel up too).

Green_6er · November 26th, 2011, 11:07 PM
