Re: Dash trim kit + speaker cover
I apologize for being short with you last night, LeChat. I understand your need to understand, I was tired last night, listening to a few things that irritated me, and shouldn't have responded when I was in that mood. In any event, I like the dash kit, no I'm not Ryan or with Mojo, but after I bought it I did tell Ryan he could use my car to show what it looked like in the Cross. Sometimes you can get a real deal on ebay, and this apparently was one of them. I had searched dashkits before, never finding one below about 100 and then this one showed up and I used the buy it now because it was so inexpensive. I got it in like February and waited until April on an almost 70 degree day.
Fitted them first, the put all the pieces in the sun to soften. Wiped down the areas with the cleaner and activator and started by putting them on slowly, in one corner, setting them down lightly so I could move them if needed, which I did. My kit may have been a second because some of the really small pieces were split, or maybe that happened from the cold or something. But I matched them up as I put them on and you can't see them.
I agree, this is a kit that Chrysler should have put in, at least for my taste, but then again, different folks have different tastes-from the Spartan to the pimped. Ya gotta like what you put in. What pattern are you thinking to put in. I went with the rosewood because I like the grain, and the slightly reddish coloring. I had had basically that in the Cadillac, from the factory, I had with the black interior and it looked really nice as a color combo. But I almost put in the lighter tan that the 300 has, but in the end felt that was too much of a contrast. If I had had the vanilla interior I would have gone with that. I don't like the look of carbon fiber so that was not for me. I liked the woodgrain because it warmed the interior, to me. Mark
