What do u guys think??????

 

It's funny....I've got a friend with a Passat, and it has aluminum from the factory. She want's wood. I've got wood from the factory, and I want aluminum too. I didn't see prices on the stuff, have you called them?

no not yet...i dont have any $$$$$ right now so i know i cant get it but ill call and check. I looks like almost everything would be aluminum, even the plastic that is around the volumes/temp. comtrols.
I really want just what I have circled. I will get prices for everything though.

 

i almost forgot.....i want brushed aluminum. What would u want CmputerWiz?

 

I called Legend 5 and they quoted $349.99 for the brushed aluminum trim kit for a 92 SC300 auto. On their website they have it pictured for a manual, but they have it for automatics too. However, they only sell the whole kit and u can't buy indivual pieces, so i guess u could try to sell the pieces u dont want on ebay or sumthing. Hope this helps.

you guys might wanna check out this webpage
it looks like they have brushed aluminum also, and 5 other options, and it's only $150

 

its cheaper b/c not as many pieces, but i dont want all those pieces at legend5. Thanks for the link.

 

Ha sanyone every installed one of these kits (whetther it was aluminum or not)? Eventhough at alkaplus.com the kits are only 1/16" thick, i dont want the trim to be raised.

 

Plus it looks like the $150 aluminum ones are just aluminum look....I think they're made of plastic like the cheaper fake aluminum ones at Legend5. Legend5 kits for 250 are real CNC aluminum, whereas the cheaper kits are plastic lookalike. Hmmm.....

Wish I could picture it in my head....i'm liking the idea of have real aluminum on every part of my dash!

Aluminum trim is very sharp and modern looking. But I've heard they are very hard to clean. finger prints, grease etc,...:eek:

 

I was thinking that too. The fridge in the kitchen is brushed aluminum, and damn is that stuff hard to keep clean! I knew I should have just gotten stainless! lol

I think I'm going to go ahead and order the real aluminum kit and see what it's like. Whenever I get it I'll throw some pics up so y'all can see!

i have the alkaplus kit on my car and it did take some trimming of peices but all in all and for half the price im pleased w/ it. the thickness i think even looks nice it makes it unique b/c we all know that they didnt come w/ alluminumn sooo. it should look kinda after market to look diff and unique.

 

i just dont want the button, etc. like the radio controls, to look sunken in. I would lik eeverything to be as flush as possible.

 

Hey Ixxxs....

Do you have any pics of it? I'd love to see what it looks like!

Thanks!
