RHD dashmat

Post by Edson » Wed Oct 14, 2015 3:45 pm

Hi guys,

Im looking for a dashboard mat for Prelude 4th gen.
Because its not very common, Im not able to find a tailor in the Netherlands, especially RHD ones.
Do you guys not a tailor in the UK that fabs RHD Prelude 4th gen dash mats ?

Im interested in one.

I know oem ones exist, but those are rare as hell.

Lmk !

Cheers,
Edwin

I never knew such a thing existed. 3rd gen sure, but where would it go on a 4th gen?

Got any pics?

Here a LHD one:

Aftermarket obviously.

I heard that it was an optional part. So might be just one dealership in the US that thought of it and produced it.
Maybe there isnt an RHD (aftermarket) version availalbe, maybe it is.

Just lmk if you know a website/store/company in the UK that produces them.

That is the first time I have ever seen one. I know there is a cut out but I wonder how it alters the deployment of the passenger airbag.

I know Justin (from Preludepower) has one on his 5G Prelude but that's custom made. :idea:

Yeah, not sure that's an OEM thing or not. :?

But more to the point...why would you want one? :? :? :?

Yeah guys, its rare.

Like I said, the pic is a custom one.
And the OEM mats were 'special ordered optional parts' meaning locally dealership made an idea sell it as an optional shelf part.
There were not many OEM built and its questionable if it was delivered for RHD.

In the US it is wide available, because of the sun destroying your black dash or the dash glare.

Maybe some UK company could build this or groupbuy or anything ?
