looking for a dash pad or a cover..

Photo didn't come out well in the dark. After time in the sun, the dash pad should settle to fit better (car hasn't left garage). It comes with velcro pads to secure it, but unneeded since the Dart's dash is horizontal. The cutouts for the defroster vents line up well. The speaker is covered, but I don't notice sound loss in my other cars (haven't tested Dart radio yet).

My dash doesn't look bad, just a few small cracks around the speaker and a dimple where the front bumper sat on it for probably years (yes, inside the car when I received it!). The dimple is disappearing as the foam relaxes. I like the dash cover because it prevents further damage, looks better, and stuff doesn't slide around on the dash.
