a GT or Z26 will have a "W" in the 5th position.

yup, thats the car. I didnt get it specifically because I wanted a Beretta, I just need a used car to get me around, and found this and thought it was a great deal. Then I found it had a lil cult following which is pretty cool. He dropped to 2200 on it, he wouldnt go lower because such low miles. Its clean inside and out, only problem is a sun warped dash on the passenger side. Anyway to fix/cover that up without replacing the whole dash?

Nice! Haha, I had a feeling that was the car. When I called, he said they put seat covers on the front seats, because they were a little torn up. He also told me the dash was in good shape, I guess thats not the case. There are dash covers, go to dashmat.com I belive. I've been considering this option, I just don't know if they are really made to fit our dashes. If anyone knows, please let me know. Good luck with it, looks nice and clean.

Problem for a dash cover on a "new" style dash is where it tends to warp. Remember, dash covers are made to fit the original shape of the dash from the factory. Not after it's warped.

Yah, but if its already cracked or pretty much shot, you can just slice away the crap and have it lay down

The dash is not totally shot. Its just the vinyl/thin plastic across the top of the passenger side has become all wrinkled. Its an eye sore for an otherwise excellent shape interior.

The dashmat.com is def a fix/cover up, but damn its an ugly carpet type thing, not sure how I feel about that lol

If I get one, I will be getting the smoke or grey in the suede, to match the fabric on the door panels of the Z26's. I'm also considering black, but definetly has to be the suede. I've seen pictures of them on newer beretta dashes, and they look good I think.
