Hey guys,

I'm having the hardest time deciding which one to put in my 97 max I just bought. I can't decide to go carbon or Aluminum dash kit. What do you guys think looks better on black interior?

thanx

I think the Aluminum would give a great contrast. I love CF, but you are then going dark on dark.

Aluminum (IMO) would give your car a modern up2date sporty high tech look Carbon (IMO) on a black interior is more JDM smoked look. It is how you want to end up that should determine your choice... They both look good, it's up to you bud!

Just My Opinion...

aluminum will scratch more easily. carbon fiber will stay looking great.

Did you ever consider the Silver Carbon Fiber kit?

Just a suggestion. In my opinion id go with the Candy Black.

Candy paint bro. Silver base coat with a trasparent candy coat over that and a good clear coat. its very cool looking and expensive. What were talking about is having the plastic panels in your interior painted in this fashion and it would look cool.

I was just kidding about candy black.
