The Great Dash Trim Debate!

[rollingthunder]

I'm looking to buy a dash kit for tan interior , silver, carbon fiber or a dark wood kit like Japanese Cherry, I already have silver sport pedals and I'm going for the sport look, so the silver is my 1st choice carbon fiber 2nd then wood grain, what suggestions do you buys have?

id go w/ silver like on the sport edition 4runners, or carbon fiber just because ive never seen a 4runner with it yet.

true there are so many with the woodgrain

yea i have woodgrain and always though it would be nice, but it kind of grows old on you after awhile.

With your sport theme, i would go with the carbon fiber kit. In my opinion, it would look nice and would match with the interior.

thought about painting the one you have now. White would look cool.

you are joking right?? white IMO would look like absolute crap....

Sport pedals don't look good with wood trim so I vote either the silver or the CF.

 

[rollingthunder]

the silver would look as though I painted the dash body color, white haha come on man you are joking right? is your dash white?

Silver will definitely go well with your theme. I have wood grain in mine and actually painted the gauge cluster bezel, climate control cover, shifter bottom, and tweeter grills silver. It flows nicely with my h/u and XM plug and play. IMO you can't go wrong with the silver especially in your rig.

Most of my silver accents:

I have ruled out wood grain completely so it's still a toss up between silver and carbon fiber...new thought what about silver carbon fiber? best of both worlds

 

[rollingthunder]

titanium burl wood or marble, a mix of black and silver

Dang. Everyones a little harsh aren't we? Anyways, i've painted my dash black and the center part is white, and it looks really good. But i do see that the white might look bad with the tan interior. BUt as for mine it looks cool

 

[Sloan]

you could always color match your dash w/ the exterior paint like this guy did. my vote is for the carbon fiber though.

nah we ain't bashing just post up pics of this setup it's all about examples...to help with the decision making process... :artist:

Silver carbon fiber sounds good. Any pics of it?

The brushed aluminum and carbon fiber stick on dash pieces are complete dog sh!t. Had them on my 99. Do not waste your time or money with those.

Have you seen the 2002 SPORT ED dash panels? Something to consider if you can find a set for cheap.

Take note of the piece surrounding the gauges and ignition panel.

Try this web site. The link is for the 4 gen, but they also have the 2nd and 3rd gen's as well.

I like the Carbon myself.
