Default PICS!!! Aluminum Dash!

First I would like this post helps a lot of guys here that have been seeking for pics of this kit. I tried to search for pics of these but never found them, I got this kit from DirectCarTrim. Its quality is the best. This is real brushed aluminum with a clear coat to make it glossy and easier to clean. At first I was going to use some pieces but as i started to put it on I just kept going. I really like how it turn out and how it complements the rest of the cars look. It makes the interior pop out without looking cheap or ricy.

The last pic is of the powered subwoofer that originally came as stock equipment in the SRT8 Magnum lineup. I was going to add it to my Mag side by side to the other one. I ended up putting here instead. It sounds very good and really blends with the stock Monsoon system. It sounded so well that i took out the two crappy stock subwoofers and dont miss them at all.

Hope you like!

Everything looks really good, except for the speedometer and steering wheel accents. I'd do without those. The rest is actually really clean looking. I was surprised after seeing the pictures. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words guys. I must confess I was the first to be surprised at how good it came out.

Here is a closer look at the gauges. The aluminum trim I got from ebay.

dude that looks really good, that's the only way you should do your interior; not red, blue, or yellow.
Great job

That's a nice kit. Saw the carbon fiber one they have as well. That might be a lot less bling for those who wanted it darker. I might have to consider that one.
