Yea I was asking about this earlier but couldn't find anything. I want to get a Brushed Aluminum kit from Car Id but I don't like how it shows the edges of the the origional console. But to those who have a kit, I have a question. Is the material thick, meaning when you put it on, is it protruding off the console or is it thin and closely sticks to the console? Hope that made sense haha.

it's pretty close to the console-not thick much at all. My pic's are attached. This is the rosewood dash kit. I just happen to like the wood look, and it makes me comfortable when I sit in the cockpit. Just warms it up a bit in my opinion. OOPS, somehow the pics aren't there, or here. I cannot figure out how to attach. My pics from my computer just aren't uploading. hmmm

Mines like tburris' except its black CF. I am looking for an aluminum kit that I can get "turned". I think that would look very retro cool.
Current dash pics are in my gallery.

If you don't want the silver edges showing, you can find someone who offers Hydrographics overlay. Your parts are coated and finished. The end result is amazing. My guy does it for 60 cents per square inch. I have had it on mine for almost 3 years and it still looks new. So durable, I have it on my windshield surround and engine airbpx covers. The process wraps the material around the edges and looks very factory. My guy has exclusive contracts with Lexus and Cadillac. They are not stick on and won't fall off due to excessive heat. Very helpful in sunny, hot SoCal.

silverSaph, my pics on the rosewood MimoUsa wood dashkit is in my gallery, mdaniels4. Some folks like it, others not so much, but I do and that's all that matters. Take a look and see what you think. I like how the silver edges are just barely visible.

I just put the Grey Marble Dash Kit in mine and love the look. I was hesitant at first to install it but after seeing Terry's I went ahead and put it on. Takes away alot of the glare that was there before.

SRT SIX - you have to send in the dash pieces for yours correct? Of all I've seen including the one in my car yours are the prettiest. I still want to see if I can get one in "turned, brushed" aluminum.

I already had the Grey Marble & after seeing smfrycruzr's at TMS GTG I installed mine. It was easy to do & I like the way it is trimmed by the Aluminum. I would definitely do it again!!

You can send to me or find someone local. Check their work and experience. The process is called Hydrographics. The pattern is on a film. the part is prepped using the base coat color you want. then sanded smooth, the pattern is cut to fit and floated on a water tank using a chemical accelerant. The parts are then dipped carefully which allows the material to coat around the edges and fill the little gaps. That is allowes to dry. Then some light wet sanding followed by 2-3 coats of clearcoat then a final wet sand and polish.

When I finish doing my performance mods, I would like to do the Hydrographics overlay. I really like the looks of that better than the stick ons. My SRT is not my daily driver so sending out the pieces is not as much of an issue as it might be for others.

Ohhhh.... and SRT SIX, I seem to never tire of seeing pics of your new interior.

Thanks SRT, I didn't know that that existed. So how much total did your center console cost to get Hrydrographicly overlayed? And they can do this in brushed aluminum, thats the one I want to get?

Center stack plus console runs $325-$350. Brushed aluminum can be done. Are you thinking of the machined look (circular swirls)?

Hey SRT, I'm looking for the brushed aluminum look with the lines in in. Not swirls, just lines, kinda looks like metal wood i guess haha. Not bad, now I gotta just find a place. And I'm saving up for a Double DIN setup so I have to wait to do that first.
