Aluminum Dash Kit
I have gone on the search forum and looked for the ALUM kit pics. but any pics that came up were all broken pics. Does anyone have pics of an ALUM dash kit i could see? i was thinking of getting one. What do yall think of an ALUM kit on an all black TL. INside and out?

Bro, looks kind of weird in my opinion 
But if you are set on purchasing a set you can find them at either of these places:
http://www.ap-signworks.com/
http://www.wooddashkits.com/acura_catalog_tl02.htm

A few years ago I bought the aluminum dash kit for my girl from Jeff at ap-signworks, and it looked gorgeous. HOWEVER, it does have its drawbacks. The aluminum is real, but very thin, and gets scratched/dented easily. I remember I dropped a coin on the edge of the shifter plate and it left a nasty dent in the kit. After a couple years, the kit wasn't holding up too well.
I'm not sure if the product has changed at all over the years, but I would probably suggest going with a kit that has that bubbly plastic coating over it, even if it's a bit uglier.

my cousin bought a brushed aluminum dash kit off ebay and it looked tacky in my opinion. it looked so fake, b/c it was like the thinnest sheet of what looks like aluminum with about 1/6 of an inch thick of some soft clear plastic coating.... then again i've seen some kits that were really aluminum, so i guess you just gotta know where to get the good ones

well i didnt really want to do the entire dash, since its a bit too much. do u guys think its possible to fabricate some out of ALUM from like Home depot. my interior has wood trim, but its only on the sides along the center console. i wanted that part aluminum. what yall think. not too much, im sure yall know what i mean. well anyways, yall think its possible to make just that part?

nm. maybe its too hard to bend the ALUM in the form of the side console. i might just buy the entire thing and figure somethin out with the rest. Until yall know of a way to do what i was talking about b4
