My Dash kit has become increasingly melted over the past years from the sun and I'm thinking about replacing it with brushed aluminum. Wondering what you guys think of it and if you have any photos of it.

I have an all black leather interior and it seems like it would be cool.

 

I Have Two Friends With Black Maximas And One Has The Aluminum And One Has Silver Carbon Fiber. Both Make Me Wish I Had A Black Max! They Both Look Sick! You Would Do Well With Either One. I Will Try And Have One Or Both E-mail Me Pics So I Can Show You!

 

i just saw this for sale it looked wicked nice but i dont have the money right now

Where is the best place to purchase these? I see them on eBay but wonder about quality.

 

I got mine on e-bay a long time ago(5yrs)

 

what about rvinyl.com. has anyone heard of them

 

^^^In search of the philosopher's stone?

 

don't get a dash kit, paint it silver instead. it looks 10x nicer, and is 10x cheaper. i wish i would have, but..:

 

naw just in search of a decent dash kit mine is starting to break apart

 

oh no, he's a homunculus!!!

 

yea im the 8th Homunculi who went out and bought a 98 max 5spd

 

right on well alchemy yourself a body kit and rims and all your mods.



- back to topic.

 

DONT DO IT!!! You know how many people would kill to have a SOLID black interior like we do???????

DONT DO IT !!!

 

I have to agree. The black interior especially with black leather should be left alone. But to each his own.

 

well i got black with the wood grain. as soon as a get some money im going to get the plain black kit or the carbon kit.

Werd, I love my black on black (no pun intended). Bro, what is up with the sweet glow emitting from all of your dash lighting? It looks sick, I want. Hook me up.

 

send me your climate control, buy some LEDs, send those too, and i will. ive done so for another orger already.

 

it looks like your dash guages (speed, rpm, fuel) have it as well

 

If i can get it all done, hell yes. But I don't want that on just my climate control and everything else plain, that wouldn't look right.

 

Don't get the ebay kit; it turns a hint of yellow over the years (mine didn't, but they are known to.)

I believe the Joshua Tree kit is the best out there. Look it up.

 

you'd be surprised how much nicer it looks with just the climate done up. if you do it in a nice bright white, it matches everything anyways. guages are a lot harder to do... but window switches are easy.

 

From everyone i've heard from the ebay kits and even the other expensive ones suck. They turn colors and peel off after a while. Paint the dash if you want it a different color. It'll look better, last longer, and you can have some pride that you did something to it instead of dropping $$.

Here's mine: It's not brushed aluminum but I like the color better. Aluminum was my first choice before I came across this color. I think it matches great with the black interior.

 

brushed aluminum is played out...........

3D SATIN NICKLE FTW !!

thank you, Cdg. see how much BETTER that looks folks?!?! i did the same to my gf's 99, and will be doing the same to mine soon enough.

 

I painted mine a red...thx to whoever wrote up how to paint the dash kit. I need to redo two peices, then I'll get picks up. It adds a lot more to the car than just straight black, and you get pride in telling peeps you did it yourself. Plus you save a buttload of money. Next up: Red LEDS everywhere!!

 

some of you guys have done some impressive work! I'd love to change my fake as all hell Oxford Burlwood dash kit to really anything none-fake woodish. Do any of you have experience taking off one of these crapping dash kits???

I have one of the 30 Pc. kits they sell on ebay.

 

You should be able to pull the pieces off of the dash. You'll have to take the pieces out of the car tho. Do it when you know you want to paint so you can take it all out, pull it all off, then wet sand and all. It's a PITA from what I've heard to clean the dash pieces tho.
