Porsche 928 Dash Covers
The 928 may not have been every Porsche enthusiast’s dream car, but it still made for an outstanding vehicle in many respects. It marked the last air-cooled Porsche before water-cooled offerings were introduced.
The 928 has a high polar moment of inertia, which acts against first-class adhesion at its rear wheels during acceleration. Porsche could have attempted to improve adhesion using various body shaping tricks; however, this would have compromised vehicle dynamics.
Dash Mats
Car dashboards take more abuse than they deserve. When the temperature heats up, plastic cracks and discolouration become evident on its surface. With a dash cover in place, any cracks or marks will be concealed behind an aesthetically pleasing cover and heat can be deflected away from your car interior, keeping your interior cooler.
Dash mats offer more than aesthetic appeal; they’re also an effective way to alleviate eye strain. Without protection, your dashboard’s reflective surface can become highly reflective at sunrise and sunset, reflecting off of windshield and into your eyes – this reflection causes strain in eyesight. Dash mats with colored surfaces help reduce such reflection.
Dash mats might still seem counter-intuitive to many drivers, but they’re an invaluable choice for anyone driving an older vehicle. Dash mats protect dashboards from damage while upholding resale value, blocking UV rays and sun glare, plus being easy to maintain with various colours and materials available to choose from.
Most of the best dash mats are constructed from durable short-pile material that’s been woven with glare-reducing fibres, and come in an assortment of colours. You could also opt for suede materials which offer soft touches while being easier to maintain than carpet. Both moulded and non-moulded options are also available.
An increasingly popular option is the DashMat UltiMat Custom Dash Cover, made of eco-friendly ABS plastic that comes in 10 solid colours with customizable lettering features such as embroideries or logos – plus it is incredibly simple and straightforward to install!
All these dash mats and covers are airbag compatible, meaning they won’t interfere with your car’s sensors and air vents. In addition, there are cut outs for dash-mounted air conditioning vents so they can easily be cleaned with damp cloth or sponge.
Add a dash cover to the steering wheel hub for an enhanced, personalized look and added protection of the dashboard – especially important if your vehicle has seen considerable wear-and-tear. This option may prove especially helpful to owners of older cars with worn dashboards.

The Porsche 928 was a front-engined, water-cooled V8 sports coupe produced by Porsche from 1978 to 1995. It featured an integrated forward-facing rear spoiler in its fastback roofline; and was powered by an engine rated at 240PS (177kW; 237hp) for Europe and 230PS (163 kW; 224hp) when equipped with smog equipment for sales in North America.
Over its 18-year production run, there were numerous modifications made to its nose and tail, bodywork, interior, and powertrain – most notably to its rear spoiler and engine.
1979 saw the addition of a rear-mounted oil cooler to improve engine cooling, followed by the introduction of a front spoiler and larger brakes the following year. 1980 (MY 1982 in North America) marked the debut of the “S” model with modified front spoilers and an all-new 4.7 L SOHC engine producing 221kW; 296hp; for 1985 the engine was updated to four-valve DOHC design with increased output reaching 229kW; 310hp.
In February 1988, Porsche introduced a lighter 928 GT as an upgrade option to their CS and SE models. Equipped with a ZF 40% limited-slip differential and digital trip computer in the dash, later that year they also enhanced piston oil drainage by installing stronger skirts onto the engine block.
In 1989, a final modification was implemented, when a more powerful 5.4 L turbocharged version of the engine was fitted into the GT. Furthermore, “GTS” models came equipped with stronger torque tubes, smaller rear subframes, and stronger brake systems than previous generations of GT.
Dash Trim
Porsche introduced their 928 car in the late 1980s as an answer to mainstream luxury and sports car competition. Equipped with an all-alloy four-cam V8, this 2+2 featured two small rear seats which could fold down for luggage space expansion; they weren’t intended for long trips or children though they did fold flat. Meanwhile, its front seats were extremely comfortable, featuring adjustable settings in various ways, while even its steering wheel could be adjusted as desired. For its time period it was quite advanced, offering features like switching between kilometers and miles settings and offering multiple safety features including its automatic shutdown upon detection of collision.
Though loaded GTS models were quite costly for their time and would often exceed $100,000 when fully equipped. Sales suffered as a result. In 1991, Porsche released their final 928 GTS IV model which featured enhanced brakes and an upgraded 5.4 L engine to boost sales even further.
The GTS IV featured several additional upgrades, such as a digital trip computer and rear spoiler. Furthermore, its lighter weight made it more competitive against other high-performance cars.
