HELP! Need advice on a dash/interior kit.

maxyeti03 · Dec 5th, 2003, 10:46 PM

I've been entertaining the idea of getting some sort of dash kit to make the inside of the Max look a bit more unique. I'm thinking about doing a carbon fiber kit or an all blue kit to enhance the blue highlights that I'm going for. Most of the kits I've found are going for $150 - $300. Is that about right? Anyone know where I might be able to find a good kit, and have any of you done this yourselves? Are they hard to install? Any help or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

I did the real metal kit from Joshua Tree several years ago.. Very nice. fit was great-- but ont or two tiny spots on the dash that could have been better... but fitting metal to curved plastic is never easy...

and yeah, $150 is pretty cheap for a quality dash kit. I think I paid almost $280 for mine.

(the one around the gauge cluster I made myself, so it's not in the kit.)

I know that you would want to go with a moulded kit. otherwise it all looks like stick on crap. If you find a nice brushed or polished aluminum moulded kit let me know. I have been looking for a nice one for a while.
