Dash Kit, Quality or Price??

What would you do, get this dash kit from dashtrims.com and save money

http://www.dashtrims.com/cgi-bin/sto...13&prod=NSN-9A

OR

Would you get this one from Joshuatree.com and spend a little more.

Is there a difference? What would you do?

I guess the qustion is, am I going to get what I paid for? Is the cheaper one going to be a piece of ish that will fall apart? Is the more expensive one simply overrated and overpriced? Anyone know?

I have the Burlwood 9 piece molded kit from Joshua Tree. It looks great and fits well. Great quality. I think it looks better than most OEM synthetic molded kits. I have frost leather interior and the Burlwood looks great. IMHO I think the 40+ piece kits look a bit tacky and are too much for the interior. They just don't look OEM if thats the look you are going for. Just my .02. My kit has the center console and ashtray, All for doors and the vents. If you go to the Joshua Tree site and scroll down to the 2000 Max 9 piece automatic diagram you can see an actual pic of the molded kit installed.

I got my kit from www.discountdash.com here it is:


I'd go with the molded kits, they really look factory.

well, i have the joshua tree kit and love it to death. The reason you pay the more money is because you are getting REAL wood custom cut for every order the customer makes. It is guaranteed for life from cracks and whatnot. The cheaper kits use paper synthetic wood look-a-like pieces that don't always fit so good per some Maxima owners on this site. I say get the joshua tree. I have pics on my homepage of the walnut burlwood 41 piece kit with a write-up. Goodluck.

Order from veneerz.com great prices great customer service 100% recommend ordering free samples first, but order by phone because many orders get lost over the web
