been a long time coming and ive lagged it for so long but it will be on there god willing by the end of tommorow

a little look into the future... and reason why i painted it:


wish me luck

 

Good luck fellow TL'er

 

i kinda like the wood look..

 

cant wait to see the finished product man!

 

do you have the charcoal or beige interior? props for originality, but IMO it's tacky

 

charcoal interior, everyone is entitled to their opinions but ouch bro did u have to be so frank ? thanks for the comments i will be postin pics ASAP

 

Well I think it would look ten times better on the charcoal than the tan interior! I guess I can't really say it looks bad until I see the finished product... How well does the kit fit? Does it completely replace the dash or just lay over it? Also, what would you do about the center console area and window switch covers... Will they be the brushed aluminum as well?

 

Good call on the black paint first, any woodgrain showing would've looked bad. I honestly like it as a concept, but I'm just not sure about how it will look. I have never been a fan of the "ADD-ON" kits as you can always see the edges of what's underneath and it just doesn't look quite OEM. But I DO like the idea and I have thought of PAINTING all my woodgrain with silver to look like aluminum. (There's agood techniqie to ecen get the look of the grain of the aluminum). I did the gauge insert, console around the shifter and the door handles on my 'Teg that way and with like 4 coats of clear it looked SWEET. I am anxious to se pics of it installed dude!
