The reason that the dashboard goes brown under the Dash Mat is due to a design which allows air to pass through the mat to provide a non restrictive sound path for dash mounted speakers. Unfortunately this design allows ultra violet rays to pass through the materiel causing the DeLorean gray dash to turn brown. This problem can be eliminated by placing a light blocking materiel between the mat and the dash with openings at the speaker locations.
