Does he do the cut outs for different applications (power windows, defrost, shaftless radios) or did you cut those out?

no website that I know of, I just think we are swamping him right now, so any colour eh? I wonder what an anodized black would look like over the ss or the mirrored black enamel.

That sounds good! I have a #56 Bright Yellow Vette-I wonder if a yellow/gold anodize would be too much? I've already brought alittle yellow in to the all black interior. :crazy:

I imagine that since he has to buy in 4'x8' sheets so if we can get enough for each colour the pricing won't be too bad.

Here's links of the other high res pics:

The whole kit was only $100.00 inculding shipping. I got it from Singleton Motor Sports Inc. in Florida. This is their e-mail if anybody else would like to get it: singletonmotorsports@hotmail.com

The kit also comes in Aluminum and Acrylic Mirror. Just e-mail him for all the details.
Can you email me some pics, can not open those posted.
Did send the company an email but no response so far.
My email address is: tdejongh57@hotmail.com

DON'T DO IT!!!!!! Mine was on my car when I bought it and the sun had taken its toll on it. The adhesive was letting go where thin strips adhere to the sides of center console stack around the side. The clear coat on it had also yellowed. I am not sure if this might have been due to a previous owner smoking in the car. Either way I am in the middle of replacing all my dash plastics because of this. See below.



My car spent some time in Miami and I swear only a drug dealer would want to ruin a perfectly good interior with stick on wood trim. However to each is their own.

heh, i'm going for metal myself... but that wood trim on yours actually doesn't look too bad in your picture!
but if you want to keep it there's probably a way to remove the kit and salvage the original plastic underneath. (blow dryer, i think?). then maybe take a bit of "Goo Gone" or similar product to remove any remaining residue?

my console needs a facelift (and i don't want to take a can of spray paint to it) so i really don't have anything to lose at this point. plus, i'm actually trying a different company i found ( CARid - www.c​arid.com ) and i ordered a "real brushed aluminum" dash / center console kit. so i'll let you know how it turns out!

that first post with the broken picture links is originally from 2003, so the pictures are gone (as well as that website)! this thread was resurrected in January, then i jumped into it today...

hopefully some current folks will post pics of their dash kits.
(i'll post mine as soon as i get it and install it - IF it comes out well!)
