Okay guys, I need your advice. I have a white 2.3CL with the tan cloth interior. I was thinking about going with the aluminum dash kit, but I don't know who it would look on the tan interior. What do you guys think?

the tan interior was there to give it the luxury look........I can't think of shit that will give it a sporty look with the tan color.

Maybe try painting the trim a color lighter than the tan. Perhaps a creamish white or something, the aluminium is definately not the way to go.

Aluminum is a definite :thumbsdn:

You can get it wraped in real carbon fiber...if you get the right woven blend it may match the tan. But even that is questionable.

thanks guys! I guess I'm stuck with the wood grain. Maybe I'll just get the woodgrain kit to go all around the car..

sorry to rain on your parade andynice20 but what about black leather and the aluminum dash kit. I think it would look good with the aluminun shift knob I have. What web site can I find this kit at? Anyone got pics?

Pizza is here gotta run.

andynice20 anything would look better then wood!!!!

I had tan interior and now it is black! but still the wood always has to go. if there was a good aluminum kit out i would have it so i am sending my wood out to get carbon fibered. Don't buy cheezy kits. every dam kit wether its wood or aluminum is FU#&in cheezy. Yeah i wanna really throw a slab of wood over my dash kit or better yet my steering wheel.

all these kits i hvae ever seen are wak and they dont even look CLOSE TO STOCK. so send your shit out and get it done proffessionally.

I agree with you qabout the KITS.. they are ugly and cheesy...

but the STOCK plastic wood with Parchment interior looks great... its classy... If i had a black (grey) interior with the stock wood.. then i would change it!!

I just don't like the way the plastic sits over the vinyl... i also think that the darker color interior look better with aluminum, carbon fiber and grey marble wood (like Cl-S)....

i just think they could of done a better job on the kits. if it doesn't cover stock i personnally dont like it.

Your right about classiness of the wood. that is why i am going (its almost finished) all black with carbon. i am into more sporty then classy.

I don't mind the woodgrain, but I always thought that you had an automatic.
