| Dash Board Covers!
I have a carpet dash cover for my w123 240D, I like a lot and planing to get another one for my 300D. Though I don't know which one I should get. The Velour Dash Mat or the Ulti Mat with a Lifetime Guarantee!?!
Also the color, I don't know what to choose? Either black to match the dash or tan color to match the cars interior?
Help me out guys! Heres the site!

Make your own--
Trace a template on butcher paper, cut it out, bind the edges with yarn(or vinyl if you like the oldschool look) and then sew on the little "domes" for the vents/instrument cluster.
I started that project but never finished it-- Maybe I will soon! |

My opinion? Go with the black....A tan or Palamino color is going to reflect back on the windshield being an annoyance and reducing visibility from the reflection.
