kit from BD dash kits $134.00 Japanese Cherry Wood- (Camera did funny things to images) install time @50 minutes

 

looks really nice wannabe. I have the rosewood kit and I like it. I like how the silver edges are highlighted. Nice job applying it

 

Center stack is too much.
Around the gauges and the glove compartment is nice, but there's just way too much down the center.

BC.

 

Does the like bounce off the dash kit and shine in your face?

These kits are not for me. I am not a fan. I like the way it looks from the factory and would never change it.

 

sometimes saying nothing is the best you should say, especially if you can not spell.

 

You come on here and post pictures looking for a response from the group. We ARE in a forum. I thought my response was pretty nice. I said it wasn't for me and I wouldn't change the factory trim. I don't think it is my place to say how I really feel.... I didn't want to be rude. But now that you think I was rude and mean I mine as well give you my honest opinion.... so here is how I really feel about it.

It is the most butt ugly thing I have ever seen. It looks cheap and I would never put a fake wood plastic sticker on any part of my car. Good luck taking them off because they won't peel off easy. In my opinion you just ruined your car.

There you have it. You think I was being rude in my first post. I was not trying to be... but since I am going to be blasted by you for being rude, I mine as well go all the way and say how I really feel.

By the way, as for the spelling... I was using a mobile device and it changed a word on me. I do know how to spell.

By the way, you write like someone in kindergarten ("sometimes saying nothing is the best you should say").

 

butt ugly to me was using cheap silver plastic in a $30,000 + car.
I do admit I had the same thoughts about to much on the center area,but went for it anyway. FYI these kits are used on many high end cars, and yes removing them is not an option.

 

Everyone has their likes and dislikes just as in wheels, colors, hardtops, convertibles etc. Everyone has an opinion and that is what males everything interesting. "BE COOL"

 

Not knowing how old you are; I will say that you should be aware that PLASTIC is a fact of life in cars of all price ranges, inside and out. If any part of an auto turned me off that much I would just keep shopping.

It does look like a Lexus; but this is a GT style car. Having said that, if you like it, then you are set to go, to me it is laughable, but I don't have to drive it.

Don't feel bad about the slams, most people here really gum up these cars unfortunately. They were conceived very tastefully, and that means understated. The silver is all about the retro deco (30's), the plastic is all about weight, cost, and durability.

Just call me pragmatic about these things.

That how you really feel BlackCross? I've known you to be alot more vocal than that! LOL! Just pulling you, I hope you know that. You made a good point, it is a forum, wannabe did ask for opinions, I said I liked it, you don't, and the answer to both is "so what?"

You can get this off if you want, a hairdryer will pull it up, and then a good wash down with goo gone and you're done. It really isn't a big deal.

Like Wannabe I thought the silver paint was a tad tacky on almost a 40K car. But that's just me. I've had the daskkit on now for a bit over 2 years and I'm still not tired of the way it warms up the car's look. But then again, I like christmas lights over my bar downstairs. need to find one of those hip swaying hula girl dolls for the dash though. Been looking for one of those for a long time.

BTW, actually, in mine as well as Wanna's I think doing only the stack, and the console from the stack back looks the best overall. Someday I may take it off from the other places except the door handle area, but for now I like it just fine.

 

I thought my original response was not rude. I did not attack. I simply stated the wood look was not for me. I got slammed for saying it... so I figure if I get slammed I mine as well get slammed for really stating my opinion.

But like I said.... it is just my opinion. I don't want to knock anyone that modifies their cars. You have the wood look and like it. It is your car. If you like it then that is ok. There are things I think look great and most people would say it was ugly. I personally think the car would look great with small rear window louvers. Most people here would say it is ugly. It is simply a matter of taste.

You have the wood trim and love it. I say enjoy it. Life is too short. There are a lot of modifications I wanted to make on a car but didn't because others didn't like it. Looking back I should not have cared. After all, you (and I) own our cars. We can do what we want to them.

 

I did not and do not like that expanse of silver in my cars. Put the top down and the sun makes it insufferable. I installed wood, carbon fiber and paint to hide it. It looks good to me and wears well. plus it was low cost and easy. his job was well done. my cars are not for sale so it does not " hurt" value. people think it's factory with positive comments. gary

 

The cherry looks, well, cherry

But the switch gear still clashes, and I'm too lazy to run down all the non-silver MB switch sets to make a center console change work.

Who knows, I might get the non silver switches and take the console and switch gear out for a phenolic dip in Acura titanium burlwood.

At least you could change out the OEM head unit for something like the JVC KD-AVX77 to cut down the silver shock.

But I understand why you want to change. The plainish interior gets a little irksome to the eye, even though the silver center stack has grown on me.

AHHH, Maxci, one Badger looking out for another!!! Thanks. Ok, inquiring minds want to know. Which one do I get? Ukelele girl or the lani with her arms behind her head? I'm a big fan of the 40's styles, so which vote by anyone here?

 

Wonder if there are any SRT6's in Hawaii? no place to run one.

 

I'm partial to girls with talents. Go with Uke girl!

And mount her (!) upside-down (!) from the map light!

 

Now that would be a talent for sure!

 

If done right anything will look good. I am sure your crossfire interior looks great. But throwing some stickers on with some of the grey showing on the sides is not my idea of perfection. Like I said... that is just one mans opinion!

 

Just yesterday, I hung fuzzy black dice on my rear view mirror and I like it, anybody got anything to say about it?
