Default New Dash Kit

I just put a dash kit in my Xfire and it looks great. Now I am getting rid of cup holder, getting a bin from dealer. This Xfire is one of the nicest cars I have ever had, my wife says it's too low for her. I can't help it she has legs 2 miles long.

Nice kit...who and how much $, is it plastic? does it "stick" on the existing parts?

Thanks in advance,

I like the wood trim, but I think that I would like carbon fiber for my own personal touch. Anyone know where I could get a nice kit?

Try these sites:

http://www.exoticwooddash.com

http://www.woodtrim.com

IMO woodtrim.com offers the best product, read through their site and look at the example pictures.

You may also want to do a search here in the forum, several people have installed the trim kits and posted pictures.

I have the pictures of my new dash kit in My Gallery. I got the kit from exoticwooddash.com for $284.00. It is Synthetic Dark Burl, the reason I didn't use real wood is synthetic is easier to put on or so I was told? Anyway it dose look good and really dresses up the car. For me it was real easy to put on.

...I am not usually a fan of wood trim in sports cars, but I think that your car looks gorgeous! The pics in the gallery look great. It really does a lot to dress it up.

Thumbs down Re: New Dash Kit

I went to the site and looked at the installation instruction. You glue it on! Then apply some heat with a hair dyer (but not too much) What about the people who live in hot areas, a car can get up to 140 degrees F inside no problem. Will your stick on dash be on the floor? What will it look like 5, 6 or even 10 years from now.

I kind of like the brushed metal look of the original pieces. I just wish they would actually be made of metal...

it looks forced to me, too "unfactory" just an opinion though, to each his own.
