[matthewai]

I have a black one (same make as in your link and coincidentally, I bought it from the same seller) in my Yaris and in all my cars:
1. I don't like the bumply plastic look of the dash.
2. It eliminates reflection of dash on the windshield
3. I mount my GPS on my dash (under the cover) so it acts like a hood to protect my GPS from the sun and shades the display.
4. A lot of people make fun of it/me but, it's my car so who cares? I happen to like the way it looks.

Got a pic of it in your Yaris? I like these too, but only if they fit clean..

[Yaristeve]

I'll try to post pics (not very good at it yet). I still "owe" pics for my Garmin EcoRoute HD dongle install...

The fit is pretty good. The only "wrinkle" (literally) is at the windshield defogger vents. but it has not affected how well the defogger works on the windshield.

Also, the dashmat for the HB Yaris is a three-piece kit. There is one that covers most of the dash except for the passenger side top glove box. A small piece to cover the passenger side glove box. And a third piece to cover the flat area in front of the center gauge panel. The passenger side glove box cover needs to be separate, I believe, so that there is nothing blocking the air bag if it deploys. I didn't install the piece to cover the tray in front of the gauge panel. These are all held on by adhesive velcro.

I tried to upload a photo but it was too big (2MB). How do I shrink it?

[matthewai]

umm do you have a mac?

[matthewai]

i think im gonna order this tomarrow

[matthewai]

im not sure if i should just get a black one cuz i think the dash blue one would look real good cuz i have other blue stuff in the car i just dont want it to be to blue

[Yaristeve]

Not a Mac, just a pc netbook. Do I need to retake the photos on a different setting? I see you can! I guess reading the owner's manual helps. I'll go retry...

[matthewai]

just go to what ever program u use to view the photos then go to edit you should be able to resize then save as a new file

[derickveliz2]

I got mine from DashMat (http://www.global-accessories.com/dashmat/index.html), and it serves as a noise absorption material in my sound system.

I have more info in my building thread, I'll search and post here later...

[matthewai]

[Yaristeve]

I don't really view them "with" anything. I just plug in my camera to the USB port and presto, they're there. Anyway, here you go. Mine is the original material, BTW. Sorry about the image sizes, I thought they would smaller...

[matthewai]

[Yaristeve]

If you ordered it from the guy in your link, you should have no problems. I've ordered a few things from him and have never had any issues.

[matthewai]

i havent applied the velcro strips yet cuz i dont think it really needs it maybe on the edges but ill just leave it for now a little sloppy looking not really though but i think its different and cool so whatever
