Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2004Dashboard 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 > Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Dave > Hey guys, > > My 92 Accord that I bought has tan interior (carpet, seats, etc.) but it > has a black dashboard.

I believe that Honda's goal with the black dashboard was to minimize the amount of reflection that would occur on the windshield with lighter colors. Eric > Hey guys, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Dave One solution would be a professional dashboard cover. Make sure that it is a darker color such as dark brown. 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.

Well, I really wasn't answering your question..... > Whao, thanks guys!! The input really helped my worries about flooded or > accidented car. 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. > > Whao, thanks guys!!

Sorry (not really), I just couldn't resist that smartass response. > > > Whao, thanks guys!! The input really helped my worries about flooded or > > > accidented car.
