Dashboard color don't match interior
Hey guys,
My 92 Accord that I bought has tan interior (carpet, seats, etc.) but it has a black dashboard. Was this common in that year, to not have same color interior? My friend has a 91 Accord just like mine, but his has all brown interior. Dave |

That's the way it was. Most noticeable on the tan interiors. My blue
one looks the best, in my humble........ bob DaveT wrote: > > Hey guys, > > My 92 Accord that I bought has tan interior (carpet, seats, etc.) but it > has a black dashboard.

I once purchased a light gray dash board cover and it reflected in the window during the daylight hours. I gave it to someone else and purchased one that was dark brown and it does NOT reflect in the window during the daylight hours. I don't know why companies sell light colored dashboard covers. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Because people buy them. Simple supply and demand. |

This practice is actually fairly common across brand nameplates. Lexus did this same thing with the tan colored interiors of their IS300 sports sedan. The dashboard is black, but the carpet, upholstery, etc. is tan. I'm not too crazy about this type of interior coordination in any make of car, but it doesn't look all that bad. If I found a good deal on a used car that had this type of interior combination, I could easily look over it. V.H. |

Otherwise you'd probably overlook it. Sorry (not really), I just couldn't resist that smartass response. |
