Where is a good place to buy a dash kit? I'm looking for a good wood looking one.

I havn't seen one that fits really well yet.

You might want to check out a place to get water transfer printing done.

Eventually, I'm gonna sell WTP interior parts from here, but I havn't gotten around to setting it up.

I've been looking into getting a woodgrain kit for mine, I think it looks really classy with the tan interior. Check out this place here----v You have a choice of either genuine or simulated materials, as well as genuine carbon fiber in multuple colors ! Not to mention I've heard their kits are top-notch quality, and easy to install.

Where did you get yours and how much did you pay?

I found a cheap one at autoacessorystore.com

I used to sell them at one time... but here in Canada i guess cuz of the importing prices from the States it took a really steep increase in prices which is why I don't sell them anymore. The distributor I got them from increased their dealer prices on them, so I most of the time now get them at retail prices.

All those kits don't fit really good though. They look good in the pics, but I'm sure if you see them in person, you can see that they aren't cut to cover the complete area around the stereo. Do any of you guys not have that problem?

I don't mean to disrespect anyones stuff, but if there is a kit maker out there that makes them so they fit really well, by all means let us know who.

I really want to get one, but if it will look like crap in person I sure as hell won't bother. So please, anyone that has one please let me know.

Having read what you said Naich, If ya look closely @ Barracuda's 1st pic, I see just what you're talking about.....top-right corner of the radio bezel. It's kinda discouraging, I'm really looking forward to woodgrain dash trim, but I'm way to critical about things like that. BTW Barracuda, what radio-install kit is that you used? I used the Metra kit, and was hoping for that little slot to hold discs, but ended-up getting a hole with this stupid little cover for it. In the paperwork they described it as an EQ opening <_<

Check this out....

This is what you wanna do. If you can wait a little while, I will try to work out a deal where I can sell CF anc Brushed Aluminum interior sets from Aleromod.com. The price would likely be cheaper than if you went ahead and did it yourself. But check out these pics of GA consoles.

Cool... good luck. I hope it works out.

Make sure you take some close up pictures. Oh yeah, and with the water transfer printing... they also have wood patterns they can use as well as like camoflauge patterns, and just about anything you could think of.
