Dash cover?

Has anyone found a dash cover for the 2015 model? I tried looking but everyone is for the older model Fit's. I need to cover the dash since it gets reflected onto the windshield on a sunny day and can mess with visibility.

Particularly with all the snow on the ground/in the fields, I didn't have to squint nearly as hard without my sunglasses. Really, I barely had to squint at all. Of course these results will vary from person to person, but I'm extremely happy. I don't know if other colors would work as well or possibly cast a sheen of the fabric color on the glass, that's why I chose black.

I was surprised at how light the Dashmat actually is. I was expecting something fairly heavy, like a doormat type of backing, but it's very flexible and lightweight. I don't think that's a testament of it's its durability, though. I think it will last a good, long time. I received four strips of single sided Velcro to trim and place on the dash too hold it in place. I think that will be important so wind can't move it around when it gets warmer and I can roll the windows down. I think more Velcro may be needed to keep the Dashmat contours lined up with the dash, but I haven't had a chance to do that yet, so I'll find out.

It didn't have cutouts for the tweeters, but they claim it's not an impedance to sound passage, so that's all right. The Dashmat also covers the where the previous Fits had the upper glovebox.

Overall, I'm initially very pleased with the Dashmat, I'm looking forward taping it in place. Pictures will follow soon. I didn't have a camera on hand for manual exposure, etc.

Yep Dashmat is the same brand from the Ebay seller I ordered from. Will take around 3 weeks to delivery though.
