I was thinking of buying a dash kit and was wondering which one would look best. I'm looking at titanium or brushed aluminum, what does everybody think?

Yeah it all depends what color your interior is....if you have a black or grey interior I would go wit the brushed aluminum...but if you have a tan interior like I do...I would go with carbon fiber.

i have been looking mostly at e-bay. there are a ton on there. priced from $100 to $115, and higher. but there is also one on there that sells it for about $53 or something like that! and it includes more pieces than any other kit! i think 30 or something! how can it be so cheap! i'm sure it's not the best quality, but it says it is factory direct, hence no middle man. and all of the example links and return policy link you to alkaplus.com website which seems to make decent dash kits.
also, there is a 30 day money back guarantee so if it was crap, i guess to could return it and only pay for shipping, not a big loss in my opinion... is it worth it if i'm not going to do a lot to the interior? just something to make it different or update it.
the sellers reputation seems pretty good also; most people are happy with the product. i really dont want to spen $100 for only half the number of pieces... unless this is just a waste.
I think i will check it out, and return it if not happy with it.
any and all comments are appreciated!
Thanks in advance

I know joshuatree makes some just google joshua tree that was the trusted maker for a while there is another company in NY or Florida that posted on here claiming that they have better kits then joshua tree. I think I actually started the posted and those 2 went at it. SO you might be able to find that company.

I know alot of orgers used joshua tree.

Would painting the dash look better and last longer? what are the advantages of each

any pics? I have tan interior too and i thought carbon fiber might look out of place on anything but black interior.

do these dash kits just stick to whats already there, or is it replacement pieces?

[QUOTE]any pics? I have tan interior too and i thought carbon fiber might look out of place on anything but black interior. I want to take some pics today of my car....think about it tho...my dash pieces were all black to begin with even with the interior being tan, ie. seats, upper dash etc...so the carbon fiber isnt too much of a difference. I get so many compliments on it and it is the best upgrade I did so far to the interior.

They go over top the previous pieces.

Man looks sweet.

I would paint it. The only disadvantage that I know of is that it can get scratched. But this way, it will look more OEM and you can chose what shade of paint you want. I'm thinking of doing this one day, but I think the stock black interior already looks pretty nice.

That Acura trim kit looks awesome, Noony get the dash kit(brushed ALU), PLEASE don't paint. It will suck to do and will chip.

Brushed aluminum looks fantasic...But here's my question...With a these trim kits, they are meant to be "taped" onto the stock dash. Will the new trim stick up a lot or they are relatively thin?

X-Vert

I think highly polished black would look sweet. Never seen that before though.
