Default Dash Pads????

Ok, the day I got my XB I put a tape measure above the glove box and the first corner I turned it went flying. Also with the windows open stuff seems to fly around in there.

SO I remembered a guy on ebay who made inserts for my Honda Ridgline and contacted him and asked him if he could make me some.

he is asking which ones I want and also what others would want. What do you guys think?
Pads that are definitely needed
1) Dash shelf above glove box
2) Back of the glove box
3) Dash bin left of steering wheel
4) 2 cupholders in the center console
5) Small tubular shape pad in the center console
6) Pad to replace the felt pad in the center console armrest

Above is the basic set he is planning on making. He wants to know if people are
interested in:
1) Dash pad in front of the instrument cluster
2) Door bin handle pads
3) Door storage bins and cupholder pads
4) Set of pads for the hidden storage tray in the cargo area above the spare
tire
5) Two triangular shaped pads in the hidden cargo storage

Are there any other pads that I missed?

I personally would not need the rear hatch, but the rest would be great

Here is the link to his ebay store, looks like they go for about $25

http://stores.ebay.com/PadsPlus_Scio...QQftidZ2QQtZkm


Here are some pictures he sent me of prototypes, sorry I didn't label them but I don't have time.
I am sure you can figure out where they go

I have Wilson's pads for my xB, and I would HIGHLY recommend them to those people starting to get xB2s.

Instead of things throwing themselves from side to side, then flying off into uncharted territories while you drive, with these simple, well done pads, things are still where you originally put them when you get where you are going. :D

I can't really speak to what extra pads folks with 'B2s might want, but I hope as more folks pick them up, they will not only get themselves some pads, but respond with what others would be nice.

Wilson, if you read this, I'm surprised you are on these so fast! I'm not sure there are even a thousand of these cars on the street yet.

Get these pads, folks - they are worth the price. Want convincing? Check out the long list of very happy customers in the original xB forum: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=112245

Tom, I am glad you like. I am not sure if anyone else contacted him besides me, but I definitely wanted them after my first turn

Hey Fred - Thanks for riding the bleeding edge with me! Got a story about that for another post.
These pads would be awesome. I think of the optional pads the only place I wouldn't want are in front of the instrument cluster and the hidden storage tray. Otherwise, I'd want them all - especially if he's the one selling them for 22 bucks for the whole set!

Let me know the story, love to hear it.

You are pretty local to me too. You ever go to cars and coffee at the Irvine spectrum?

I am not sure yet.

I sent him an e-mail yesterday asking when I could get some and how much and haven't heard back yet.

I am sure it will be soon, I can't believe he is not done yet. This car has been out for a week already.
