I've made up my mind to buy an aluminum kit, but who's the best?

Re: dash Kit
 
They're pretty good. I had one of their old synthetic ones, that one sucked fitment wise, but their new ones are better. I still haven't seen one in person, but everyone who has it seems to like it. I also sell a dash kit made by Perfect Image Creations. It's priced comparibly to the JT kits. I obviously thinks it looks better because the top 3 pieces around the clock and climate controls has been combined into one piece for a more integrated smooth look. We spent a lot of time and made a lot of protoypes to make sure it would fit well. Email me at sales@ap-signworks.com for more info. You can see what the kit looks like on my car at www.ap-signworks.com

Frankly I think Joshua tree is not very good on fitment. There are some gaps in my kit, and I've bought 2-3 additional pieces, etc. to try to get it perfect, but the way they are made they are just not perfect fits.

JT sells kits made by a company called Spectrum. WoodDash.com has some from another company called B&I which are, I think, better fits. I am going to swap mine out someday when I have lots of energy and patience.

Re: frankly
 
I wasn't impressed with my old JT kit either. But I saw some JT kits that fit well. I think that their quality control is suspect. That's mostly why I had a dash kit custom made and now I sell them. We had to make 5 prototypes based on my old JT kit before we got one to fit to our satisfaction.

Thanks! The JT kit can be had for about $160-170 via group deal and the AP- sign works can be had for a considerable bit more( Thanks for the pics Shadow!) but I wish ther was a way to close the gap! I do believe in quality and thats what I want. I'll have to do a lil more reasearch before I make up my mind.

I think the B&I kit from WoodDash.com does. Check it out. I think they have several choices.

Actually, after the JT group deal is over, Greg (Custommaxima) will be group dealing the AP-Signworks dash kits. Also, right now I have a group deal going on them for $165+shipping. Less than the JT group deal.
