I know this is a newbie type question but i will take my chance and ask it anyways...ok i am 18 and do not have the money to buy dash kit after dash kit to find what i like. I have a chrome dash kit and it is getin kinda knicked up cause it is kinda fragile( must be italian). Should i got the real carbon fiber route or burlwood?

i have a tan interior with black accents like steering wheel and such. which one would look the best, cause i am tron betweent he 2. thank you for putting up with my newbie Shiznit

hey i have a tan interior with the carbon fiber check out my page- i love it -maybe you will 2 check it out

 

wood looks nice!

 

depends on what kind of interior feel you want.

If you want a luxurious feel to it go with the wood.
If you want a sport car feel to you car, get the carbon fiber.

 

Haven't seen the wood on tan, but the CF is ugly. Keep what you have.

 

I say have a custom dash kit made out of died aligator skin??? Dats dat playa shiznit... Ya boy!!!!!

 

I went with the cf kit because it hid the black accents in the interior. When I put it on it actually looked alot better than I expected. I don't think that you would do wrong going with this kit.

But you do have to think about this...wood=classy......carbon fiber=sporty

Then ask yourself: what do you consider yourself?

 

can we get some wood dash kit pics up here?........lets starts a archive of dash kits pictures so we can referr back to this at a later time....

 

FINE...if you need them that bad.

 

well, if u gotta choose between those two, i say the burl wood, i don't think the carbon fiber looks very good on a tan interior

 

eh, ill post a pic with more interior tomarrow

 

the carbon fiber looks awsome, but i went with burl wood. I had acouple people im me on aim and tell me burl wood, so i guess most people like burl wood. i equally lkike them. So i went a head and got the brul wood kit. Also to go with it i got teh burlwood and chrome e-brake handle from custom maxima(Only $19 now), and chrome gauges rings to go with my burlwood bezel. So i am doing it wood with chrom accents like some aston martins.

 

yah the burl wood will look great, especially with the in-dash screen.. can't wait to see it!

 

go with the wood interior i have it on my max it looks great

 

go with CF

 

Any of them will peel, sorry. It's the hot sun on the dash immediately followed by cold air coming from the vents by the clock - the lacquer will peel right off of the wood. It happened to the wood trim installed by the dealer, and it happened to the joshuatree 'Italian Burlwood' trim set I installed myself. It looks fantastic but then one day it'll start peeling, and then, shoot. And you can't buy just one piece to replace the peeled one, it's a whole new set each time.

Dunno if carbon fiber will also peel, but I'm guessing yes since it's also covered with the lacquer. IMO cf is really tacky.

how about a pic with Real carbon fiber on black interior?

I am hunting for some good pics to see what it may look like. I have one in the mail comming but am too curious.

 

I think that it just happens to cars that are constantly in the sun. If you don't take care of something like that, of course it gonna be destroyed. Being careful with what you have is the first step. I've had my dash kit for about 2 years with no peeling.

 

i would ratehr have one made of ocherage( the big bird that i have no clue how to spell) leather. that would be the pimp!

 

what about green cf.... dont they have colored cf kits? i have seen red and thats probably what i am going to get in the future, but it wont match my other cf...
