I called Discountdash about 4 months ago to get sample of the stainless/brushed aluminum mailed to me. It's actually simulated & not real aluminum if that makes a difference to you. I don't know about autodash's stuff.

Yup. It's reflects light much more than real brushed aluminum ought to. I was looking for the real stuff. Just haven't quite found what I'm looking for yet.

Re: Re: Re: looking for a dash kit

There are no molded kits made from real aluminum, it's not possible with the way the molded kits are made. We are working on somewhat of a molded kit with the real aluminum. Basically we're trying to make the kit cover the sides of the center console too like the molded kits do. That is the number one complaint about our dash kits, that they sit on top. But that is the template we got, and most of the synthetic dash kits out there are flat too.
