Aussies, dashmats is that a Yes or a No?

[Ozstung]

Following an interesting discussion with our North American bretheren a poignant point was made is this a Cultural thing?
a poll may indicate whether we do.

As pointed out they also have extreme heat conditions in areas but aren't overly enamoured with this product.

Gotta protect the investment. But I draw the line at covering the seats in plastic! Lol

Wouldn't drive without a dashmat, had a dashmat in my 2004 VZ Commodore since brand new, and the dash underneath is like new still.

Thought you would have gone with PPF but glad wrap is much cheaper.

No dash mats required a good UV protection spray and wipe applied every 3 or 4 months will protect it for the life of the car. Dash mats are so 1970's

Everything old comes back again at some point, flares were in a year or two ago.

When I was 18 (33 years ago) I bought my grandfather’s 4cyl VC Commodore off him as my first car. It had dashmats. I took them out, threw them away and have never bought dashmats ever since.

I grant you they have improved in design over the years since my first experience but you haven’t showed us your rear dash mats where your bowls hat sits.

Well I have owned a Toyota Prado since new in 2007 here in Alice and everyone kept telling me to get a dashmat but I never have. The UV is a real killer out here so I might get one for the Stinger, might have to invest in some armpit shorts as well to go along with it. lol Oh and a terry toweling hat. lol

The tissue box is in the way of the bowls hat but it’s a pain in the arse every time I lift the boot it slides into the back seat
