i was thinking about that but my car has kind of a sporty sleek look to it so i was not sure if it would fit the style, even tho i think wood would be nice also. tell me if u would think it would fit the exterior.

Wood is really the only thing that looks good on a beige interior... I've tried to find something else and nothing works, to my eyes at least.

Question, what % tint do you have????

I too, have a superblack max w/ tan interior which I hate. and I plan on getting some tint and am wondering what % would look best since tan makes tint seem a little more transparent..

Anyways, I have carbon fiber vinyl on my dashboard... it's not exactly a kit but it's just slapped on. It looks okay.. I will take some pics for you tomorrow if I dont forget (feel free to remind me, if u really want to see them ) I'd say it looks better then stock for sure.. but I now have some burlwood trim which I will be putting on it.. Tan freakin sucks, it gets dirty fast, u can't do anything with it, like make it racey with nice pedals, shift *****, e-brake ***** dash kits.. etc... tan interior

that is the most 4wheel drive max i ever seen before in my life.
still looks nice though. nothing some springs cant fix.

if you get the wood trim it wont look bad, just classy.

i always get atleast one comment of how high im riding. It will be lowered in the spring, im saving up now and i am going to wait out the winter, i do not need to turn my car into a snow plow. I have 20% tint. My friend was pulled over with my car for cutting a perosn off the bop ignored the tint because the tan reflects i think and does not make it look as dark.. plus i have blue neons in my car. i say go with 20% during the day it is just enough to block that nasty tan from about 5 feet away.

Nice! Yea, the tan is pretty aweful, but I think I will dye my dash black..
The tint looks nice, I've seen 35% on cars with tan interior and it doesn't cut it, even in the dark. I want it to be dark enough that u can't really make out details inside in the day, but look almost like limo tint at night it was that way on my old max with black interior... i'm going for 20 or 15% all around
