I was helping a buddy of mine look up potential cars when I ran into this one.

Is this an aftermarket kit or dd it come like this?




Here is the link to the car

aftermarket brushed aluminum dash kit

 

The car also has Chrome gauge rings which is an Aftermarket add on.

 

Looks like different dash panel also, ie. speedo.

 

wonder if it is anyone on the org's

 

correct

wrong and...

wrong..


the GLEs are equipped with black face gauges and the two larger gauges have a 'silver' painted ring around them just like the SE's

 

since when do dash kits color in the window switch holes?

 

yeah i was wondering if the guy did the dash himself.

he did a nice job.

 

I have a CF dash kit that also fills in the power window switches- its called a MOLDED dash kit. When you pay the bux to get a REAL dash kit, its molded to the console and power window switches- looks like it came like that from the factory.

 

I'm wondering whether to get an OEM match kit from http://www.wooddashfactory.com/pages...?partno=wd433C



Or a brushed Aluminum kit....is it hard to remove the simulated wood trim in my stock 02 GLE?

 

The wood kit is not attatched to anything, it is actually the piece around the shifter and the enitre window switch is made of that plastic. Does that make sense?

If youhad to pick go with the aluminum or CF, too much wood and it looks tacky.

 

Let me get this clear...that means that the pieces are in its entirety as the simulated wood grain?

So would I just snap and glue the aluminum/cf on top of the wood pieces?

 

do yourself a favor and stay away from the flat "stick on" pieces. I learned from experience.

 

If I was doing what you wanted to do I would think you would have to go to a junk yard and get the pieces you need and add on top of it. I have 0 experience with a molded dash so I don't know how well it covers up the existing trim pieces.
