Aluminum dash

I was looking for a dash trim kit and am opting to a metal finish. I read some threads that said the kits on ebay suck (they all seem to be the same). Anyway, where can I find a true, brushed aluminum, high-quality dash kit?

I've checked most of the parts stores and can't see the diference between kits.

Thanks...

I bought one from http://www.exoticwooddash.com/honda.htmhttp://www.exoticwooddash.com/honda.htm.

I never put it on and it's still in the original box... If you're interested in buying it off of me, let me know... my email is form3hide@aol.com


and it's the brushed aluminum(sp?) that you want..

NO actually the trim is real aluminum with a lot of clear coats on top of it. It is a 1/24" thick piece with 3M tape on the back.

It seems that alot of people are holding on to kits they never applied... disappointing huh?
If you look at MooCow's ride, it looks tight!

What are your reasons for not applying, truthfully?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

After paying $15k for my LX, I don't want to spend $150 on something that looks cheap...

I really do not know why I never installed it. At first I was lazy and just never got around to it. As I got used to my car and started to add things to it, I liked the way everything flowed... My outside was all silver/chrome and my inside was mainly black...

The kit doesn't look all the cheap to be honest with you. However, the brushed aluminum that comes with the car (not sure if its in the non-EX models) isn't the same shade as the kit...

hoped this helped.... maybe lol

Thanks anyway. It seems that virtually every kit I come across has the sticker/lacquer look. Not exactly what I am looking for... I was opting for more sophisticated look... aluminum trim like you might see in a sportscar. Anyway, if anyone knows where to find a bare metal kit...let me know... Thanks!
