Default Pictures: Wooddashkit Brushed Aluminum Interior [NO 56K]


I ended up installing only 7 out of the 33 parts (parts #: 7,8,9,26,27,32, & 33). Material is flat, edges are ok but could use improvement.

The pieces as they arrived:

few more





I ended up removing the center console parts (# 4 & 34). I didn't like how they are not covering all the edges correctly. Part # 6 looked even worst @ that point i just had to take them off:

The brushed aluminium is cool, but it looks stuck on in my opinion, that would make it a no no for me, think the cf kits i have seen on here have a much better fit and finish. my old honda accord had the aluminium finish and it looked way better than this one.

I think they look really nice! If they could fit in better with the CD player...

Looks good!

I am not feeling the pieces on the dash around the stereo and vents. Never been a fan of those pieces. but the rest really looks good! where did you pick them up at? can you get a smaller kit or is it only with all pieces?

Thanks for the pics!

^ yea the vents and stereo parts were hideous, i just couldn't keep them on. i got them from here i'm afraid you can only get the 33 together or add the overhead optional kit to them. i updated my replies in the linked thread there to make things easier to find later on.

Personally, I can't stand stickers. Looks ridiculous, especially on a luxury car.

To each his own!

As I predicted, a nice, brushed aluminum finish looks WAY BETTER (imo) than the carbon fiber trims we've been seeing. Pity about the edges on this particular kit though. Thanks for the pictures!!

Just curious...why not go with the OEM Sport Package pieces...its brushed aluminum (a little darker than the stick ons) and its an excellent fit..not stick on...IMO it looks nicer than the wood, its one reason why I got the Sport Package....

Looks like something Howard Roark would design, but I like it.
