I've been looking at dash kits for some time now and I've found it hard to decide what color/texture looks best. What would be nice is to see actual kits installed in our XFires.

So I figured a thread should be started for everyone to post pics of the kits installed in their XFires to give us all a better idea of what these kits actually look like.

If possible, please include the name/color/texture of the kit and a link to the manufacturers page or where you bought yours.



EDIT: If anyone has done the Hydrographics to their dash, we would love to see the results!!

 

I am not a fan of stick-on kits, but I am a fan of MikeR's painted pieces in his car. Maybe he will post-up his interior...someday, I will do mine...

 

Stick on kits are efficient. here is one of mine. silver metallic carbon fiber.gary

 

here are mine, rosewood.

 

Here's mine, WOW Trims, Japanese Cherry.

Used only the dash pieces, not the console pieces, cutting three pieces to maintain the bottom edge across the entire dash.

 

I dont have a dash kit however it's very custom and one of a kind.

X2. I've also seen some awesome carbon fiber wrapped dash parts.

Here's a shot of the "Marblewood" grey dash kit.
It's from the same supplier as mdaniel's dash kit, I just can't seem to find the link...

 

3M DiNoc CF wrap.

And it's coming out. Won't stay stuck in the deep corners. I'm going to paint the pieces dark charcoal metallic.

 

This is why I did not do mine when I did the headliner and pillars. I am eventually going to paint mine body color, I would think it would turn out similar to what you are wanting to do

 

Now that's the look I want. Was it difficult to apply? I like the way it tones down the starkness of a black head unit in the silver console.

 

Thanks!!
No, it's not too hard. Lots of dry fitting to make sure how to do the actual applications though.
A nice table for laying out the pieces in the garage on a semi warm day made it easy.
I liked the way it toned down the silver plastic, but left the small edge showing for accent.

 

You can kind of see mine off to the side. Ill take a full dash pic when I get off work. But mines the stick on "real CF" I like the way it looks.
