In my opinion the most bang for your buck that you can get out of any mod is a dash kit. It totally changes the theme of your interior. You could make it sportier with a aluminum, or more classy with a wood. You could make it look subtle with a dark wood or marble or stand out with a light wood.

There is an awesome group buy goin' on. For those who are interested and do not visit the classifieds section of this forum regularly, here is the link...

Really good deal if we get enough people.:knockout:

Dashkit is cool but for this low price I am afraid it will be poor quality.

I have a brown dash trim at the transmission stick / cup holder and the way it is colored and polished would may me feel that it costs atleast like $40. Now I should not jump to conclusions but they are offering like 17 seperate parts for like $150.

I wouldn't want to install something that would look cheap or simply bad.

I might be wrong and real-life pictures would very much help....

Those are valid points you bring up but...

"for this low price I am afraid it will be poor quality."
The prices is somewhere around 225-280 or so from this specific manufacturer. The reason we are getting a deal is because it is a group buy and we are buying in bulk.

"I wouldn't want to install something that would look cheap or simply bad."
Nether would I!!!

You can look at installed examples of each finish and many cars and decide for yourself on the quality.

Looks like crap how? Faded? Do you have a dask kit? Is it from this specific company? Just curious cause I am very much looking forward to a new black marble dash.

I had a yellow/black carbon fiber kit in my old altima that was good quality and looked great. It was made by florida auto trim. When I got my G it had a similar stick on wood grain kit but my distaste for woodgrain lead me to remove it and paint a number of my interior pieces which I personally think looks better than the stick on kits. That sounds like a really low price even for a group buy, my altima kit was $185 my cost through a direct account with the company, their retail was $280.
