Putting aluminum dash over stock wood dash
I plan on getting some aluminum kit for my 96 I30, but since it comes with stock wood trim, I was wondering how aluminum looks over it. Will the wood show through at the sides? What about the window controls? It seems like lots of the wood would show through there. If any of you guys could post pics of your results of this, I would appreciate it.
What are some things I can do to fix this problem, aside from swapping the whole dash with a stock black one? Do you guys know of any kit that fits the entire I30 dash? The top portion is slightly different than a Max.
Thanks.

I did this, and it all worked out fine. Just take off the wood 1st, then use a glossy black spray paint on it, let it dry, re-install it, and place the new aluminum kit over it. mine looks tight.
