I'd like to hear some input from you guys. Thanks.

 

I would say paint it. Think about this, no dash kit will fit perfectly. Not even ours But with darker aluminum, wood, carbon fiber kits you don't notice the gaps. I'm not talking anything huge, but the 1/10" here and there. If you have a white dash kit, those gaps are still going to be there, but there will be the black plastic behind it that is going to show up. And you will see every gap. Plus it's only going for like $130 for 30 pieces. That kit isn't going to fit right. The templates are the same Alkaplus uses (all low cost dash kit companies have the same templates) and we all know how badly Alkaplus fits.

I'd take the time to paint it. Plus if you could paint it pearl white, that would be an even bigger plus.

 

thanks man, but do you know wher i can buy the exact spray paint color? i'm not even sure if mine is icelandic pearl, should i just go to a nissan dealership for this?

 

i painted mine, look at home page for pics

 

If you want to paint it the same color as your exterior which in your case is icelandic pearl then check this site out:

Paintscatch.com

They have touch-up paint available in spray cans to make thinks easy
for you.

You can also check this site:

Plasti-Kote

This sray paint is specifically for interiors(dashboards etc.) and won't chip easly because it's flexable paint but be sure to clear coat it, Plasti-Kote paints can be purchase at your local Pepboys.

ohhhhhh i could get a pink dash kit...





hehehe



just paint it...

 

i hadthis idea a couple of weeks ago when my girlfriend and i were painting the engine bay of her 2003 tiburon. i dont know if i like the idea of painting the little parts of the car. what about cutting out vinyl pieces?

 

I was looking at this kit also, and the thing that cought my eye was that if you point a black light at the kit, it will glow.

 

Kashoggio - the dash looks hot... what type of paint did you use? Approx how long did it take? I am guess 6 hours. Would love to see more pics too!
