they must be available or it was custom made cause my car came with 1 on it, removed it because it just ruins the look of the car, its put on on very hot days though to help save the vinyl from cracking.

Id just try your local automtive type stores and ask if they have any listings in there computers for SC300 or 400

Carla if you can get a few people together that also want a dash mat i might be able to get new ones made. Also would need Scott to make a stencil to use as a template for the manufacturer.

Scott do you mind post up a pic or two of your dash mat jsut to have a look at it.

Im actually against dash mats, as long as you use something like Armor All of something similar to sort of hydrate the dash from drying out and also giving it its specific UV protection then the dash should be fine.

I had mine made a few years ago.

Exact-Fit Moulded Auto Carpets,
7 Virginia Road , Newton, SA 5074.

I am very happy with it. Cost about $70 at the time, probably a bit more these days.

Huh? The one in Adelaide? I talked with them about getting one for another Soarer a few months ago, and I think Ashley was looking to get one there too.

I might follow up on it (soon-ish).

WE had a phone call from Exact Fit in Adelaide and they said they didn't make a dash mat for the Soarer,if you find out anything different please let us know.Maybe it's not what you know but who you know.

Just rang Exact-Fit. They prefer to fit and install direct to the car as they don't have a mold for the Soarer. They then recommend it not be removed, but the lady said it would be best if eg I (or another Soarer owner) went there and spoke to one of the trimmers to see if they could make mats for other owners without actually having the car there.

Thanks Peter,its a bit far for me to travel to Adelaide just for a dash mat,guess i'll just resort to lots of Armorall on a regular basis.

Carla, you can buy mine if you want. The car comes attached. Very expensive. It also has the number plate you might like.

Peter said they were about $70.00,Sounds like a bargain if the car is attached,as for the number plate that's another story.

I have my old dash out of my car. Would it be any help if they had that for a few days to get a mold for a mat?

Although it is a fair way out from where i live....
