Dash kit installed.....pics!

[Crusher]

Just finished installing a brushed aluminum dash kit. It looks much better in person.....

[Crusher]

Here's the view from the back seat......it does a great job of breaking up all the black that was there before...

Nice man. Was wondering if you painted all that yourself? If so, how aqnd with what paints and sandpaper . .? That would really look nice in my car!! Got the rally white, so that would just look sexy!

[Brian MP5T]

Without knowing what it normally looks like, it's dificult for me to give you my opinion, however, it does look nice.

I have to say i like that ALOT! Ive seen some crappy jobs done to the inside of cars, but you did it very very well.... Wanna come do mine?!?! haha
good work! (yupnope)

[L8R]

thats very nice dude :)

expensive?

[Captain KRM P5]

that looks damn nice, good buy

[Crusher]

Paint? No, it's a brushed aluminum kit from Goodtrim. They give you all the pieces and how to instructions. All pieces fit really well. I bought the whole kit for around $175 :)

[jersey_emt]

Awesome!! I love it.

[krstofer]

My friend has a 2003 6 with the aluminum dash, I like the basic black better.

[laracroft]

I had a brushed aluminum kit on my 03 Corolla S. Looked great. I'm sure it does look better in person, mine did too. Looks good.

[sndsgood]

i'm not a big fan of them myself. if it was straight aluminum i think it look hot. but that clear stuff on top makes it almost look fake. looks like u did a good job installing them wich is the most important part.

[Crusher]

Thanks guys. Yeah, they may not be everyone's cup of tea, I didn't think I would like it either, but it really breaks up the black really good. I didn't install every piece, so I think it looks pretty well balanced.

Paint? No, it's a brushed aluminum kit from Goodtrim. They give you all the pieces and how to instructions. All pieces fit really well. I bought the whole kit for around $175 :)looks nice, but for that price, is that kit a flat kit, or a molded kit? I can't seem to find a molded kit for under $241. On top of that for the color and finish I want, I can't seem to find a price better than $280. Also, I checked goodtrim's website, and it seems they only have flat kits for the p5.

[Airman Jack]

do the pieces of that kit just stick on top of the plastic pieces, or do they replace the parts?

[Crusher]

They are flat pieces, but you can bend them to fit wherever you need to. They just stick right over the existing dash.

[KING13]

on a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate it?

[Nymisus]

so whats the address of the place you ordered that, I like it alot

[Crusher]

Scale of 1 to 10, I'd say 10 for sure. The dash looks good in black, but I don't know, maybe because my car is silver and already had the silver accents around the round vents in the dash and the instrument panel, the new dash kit really brings it out more, ties it in together and breaks up all the black. I also have black seats and carpeting, so maybe that's why it looks good too.

I got it from Goodtrim, but purchased it off Ebay. Do a search on Mazda3 dash, it should bring it up. They are a great company. It was shipped really fast, came with detailed instructions, an installation video and all pieces fit perfectly.

The Aluminum looks hot, very nice. Do they offer a set in Carbon Fiber? I just finished a custom Carbon Fiber radio trim panel and I'd like to match the rest of some trim peices but wrapping them in CF myself has proved a little next to impossible. Here's a pic, enjoy!

Robin, you got any pics?

[protegeV]

wow, that looks amazing(shocked)

[mmathias]

it seems like a lot of dashkits out there fit over the existing trim...are there any kits that replace stock? if i'm going to do something like this, i want to make sure it looks good and flush, not sticking out all over the place.

any suggestions?

I love the 3 badge.

[Gambino]

I personally think it looks like shit. Looks cheap, doesnt seem to fit just right, I hate that you can still see the black around the edges. Makes the car look cheaper

[tsunami]

don't hold back man... how do you really feel abou it.... (rofl)

[Airman Jack]

wow... this thread is over a year old... why in the world was it resurrected? :p

[tsunami]

dunno........mmathis wanted to look for a kit that isn't stick on and brought this back instaed of starting a new one... ???? at least they used the search button...

[Gambino]

at least they used the search button...
(werd)

piece of advice though, dont do it

[smurfedpro5]

nice

[Airman Jack]

don't do what, search? or use this kit? :p

[Gambino]

don't do what, search? or use this kit? :p
I knew someone would say that.

search = good
dash kit = bad
