For The Guys Who've Installed Dash Kits

I was wondering if you guys were happy with the fitment and look. I'm thinking about getting some brushed aluminum, but I'm afraid that it won't be flush with the body or fit wrong. How bad does having a peice of plastic sticking out of your trim look??? Is it that noticeable or irritating??? I'm **** and I'd like it to look as close to OEM as possible.

install it CORRECTLY and they look very good.. the hardest part is aligning everything on there. you can only stick 'em on once. if you get it misaligned when you touch a corner down, it's all over. the adhesive on them is so strong, it'll mess up the trim if you try to pull it off.

Exactly what Matt said, install it correctly and it should look beautiful. If you do a careless job then it might come out like ****.

DO NOT GO CHEAP!!! If you are **** do not settle for a cheaper dash kit. get one from woodtrim.com or one of the other top kits. I ran out of money and instead of waiting and getting a woodtrim I settled for a cheaper kit that looked real good from the samples they sent but werent up to par as far as I am concerned.

Dont get me wrong it doesnt look bad but just not PERFECT like I like. I will be re doing it later with the woodtrim.com kit.

Good luck.
