Which “ Dashmat” dashboard cover looks the best

My 2009 fortunately so far does not have any cracks in the dash board, but I wanted to try to keep it that way so I bought a dashmat. The first one I got was the carpet model. It fit pretty well and installed easily but was sort of lumpy looking even when tacked down with the provided hooky tape. The problem was when the sun shined on it it had filaments in carpet that were shiny and sort of sparkled. The sparkles were distracting and made the whole thing look cheap. I returned it and replaced it with the suedemat. Much smoother fit and no sparkles. Spend a few extra bucks and get the suedemat. It can hide a whole slew of sins and looks damn good.

Get ordering the a black carpeted one,just need to mention where your speaker are located at, my are on the sides of the dash. I suggest you mock it up, to see how it fits first. I ended up cutting about .05'' from the leading edge. The cats had a something to play w/ for a bit, LOL

Don't have any cracks yet but that's the point, I don;t want any cracks and I think this mat may help protect.

I believe mine is the "DashMat" original model in black. Quality of material is fine, although the fit is not so perfect. I kind of wiggled it around to get it to fit the best I could using extra two-sided tape. I got any high points to lay flat by placing a wet towel on them and letting it dry there. I llke the looks more than the plain dash.

the suede...
fits easier, smoother, and looks way better than the carpet model. even the back side of the suede does a better job of staying in place via the hooky tape provided.
