Just installed my dash pads from pads plus. Fit and finish is perfect. come with 2 sided square tape. 9 piece set. the top center console pad is the best being that is probably the most slippery and most used. Material is like the bottom of a mouse pad. Got mine on ebay. 10 outta 10 !! highly recommend everyone get these !!

Beautiful picture on EBay, better than what we can do:
EBay 2011 Ody Pads
This is the 3rd Ody I have put the pads into, for some reason, he did not include nearly as many locations with this one. In my Gen3, every nook got one of these, and they all held up well.
These were the least quality cuts of all of them too. I found them all to be slightly too big, should be some clearance around the edges for two reasons... one, so that the edges don't get pushed up the sides, and two, so moisture doesn't pool inside the pad. The clearance on our 2006 was good.
That said, they are still crucial, the reason I like them most is they cut down on rattling big time with whatever is in a cubby. Fortunately I have some leftover pads from 2006 to put in some of the side bins around the Ody where I think this might be an issue.
Don't even need a picture, these are so cheap and return so many orders of magnitude their value, just buy them. P.S. is this post in the wrong place?

Aren't these really console pads? Dash pads fit on the upper dashboard don't they? In the mean time, do you find crumbs and stuff making their way under the console pads? Why do you need them in the cup holder area? Don't the rubber fingers keep the cups in place?

Yes. I have these in my Pilot to keep things from sliding around on the center console. Every month or two I have to pull them up to clean crumbs and crap around the nooks and crannys. I actually just ordered a new set for my Pilot, as the old set was 3 years old, and the neoprene was starting to loose its grip. Still worthwile in my opinion, just to keep my phone and sunglasses from sliding around on the hard plastic of the console.
I didn't bother with the cupholder ones.
The pads come with a few double sided tapes. From my experience, these do not leave any trace in the interior trim, when removed.

Reviving this thread to add that I just bought a set of these on Ebay. They arrived quickly and they fit perfectly. I have my doubts about the double-sided tape holding up through 100 degree summers and 10 degree winters, but only time will tell. Even if I have to re-tape every once in a while, it'll be worth it. These are very nice.

If it's any reassurance, I installed these in my 2008 and after 3 years they are still holding tight with chicago winters and summers and vacumn cleaner attacks at the car wash.
Truthfully the only spot I think needs this is the front center console top area, everything slides in that spot, the rest isn't really necessary IMO. For just that area the price is to high, most of the pieces are cup holders. plus I have truffle interior and these may stand out too much.

It also does a good job of stopping things from rattling around, keeping things a little quieter inside the echo chamber called Odyssy. So it's more than just keeping things from sliding around.
That is a good point, but do any cups actually rattle in the cup holders enought to make noise? I don't know since my Ody is so new and I have never had one before.
I can see the dash tray items rattling and of course that center console top.
How does it look with the truffle interior? Care to snap a pic of the front row center console top with the new pad isntalled?
Thanks!!!

The cup holders on the '08 don't have that ring like I see in the picture so mine rarely has cups in it. Change, go figure since there is a change holder, keys, cell phone, and any other stuff usually makes it into the cup holder, not a cup. But I doubt if a cup would make a noise, so for cups I agree, they are probably useless unless your like me.
An alternative to these pads would be those liners I use for the kitchen cabinets for the dishes,glasses,and cups.
It's got that nice grip for non slipping. Sorry but I just can't think of what they are called right now. Lol
You can get them at a home improvement store or a bed,bath, and beyond.
