dash kit installed!

[cruzdreamer]

It was not easy......I had trouble with the center pieces.....once it sticks your history!! Some errors but overall it looks nice! I have a few more accent pieces to do yet. I love the glove box with mirrored CX 7 letters. The grey is not well depicted in pics.....it's a perfect color!!! Wii try to do better shots later. Please don't get too picky all you perfectionists!! Tell me what you think...Thanks!

Not bad ( I personally am not a fan of wood), where did you order from?

The pics make the dash look like it's brown....not so....really nice grey....I will try and reshoot tomorrow and hopefully the color will turn out better.

was never a fan of those stick on dash kits but that matches the interior really well. the shifter piece seems to be outta wack a lil but other then that i like it. but whats up with the blue and carbon pedals? seems a lil ricey for such a nice car IMO

quick few questions, how long did this take you? are the pieces well fitted/printed (no rough edges, the right size etc) what tools are required? and if you get to it, how do they react to cleaning (scrathes, swirls etc etc )

It took me about an hour and a half. I made sure I followed all the steps particularly cleaning it since I had some protectant residue on some areas. I used a blow dryer to constantly keep the surface warm of the dash and piece.(75-80 degrees)The pieces are really nice...I was impressed...smooth and color(grey) is great although in the pics you can't tell. I was just frustrated that I goofed in a couple areas(gear shifter) etc. Once you peel the backing and if it's not in the exact spot it's impossible to realign it....it's harder than it seems. A profeesional could do a perfect job. As far as cleaning it and scratches we shall see....I think it should hold up well. The pieces fit really well, it's just a matter of you aligning it. I got some stuff on my piano black from the kit you have to put on before placing the piece... and rubbing alcohol seem to take it off. After first it did not come off until I used the alcohol...I was a bit mad but Thank God it came off. There are pieces to go over the piano black but I think it would be too much and I like the piano black. Love the glove box with the CX 7 letters the most! I need to add a few other pieces yet. Will post more pics later.

I always liked the sport pedals...they are just ones that go over the existing pedal....one came off already....my fault. This car is classy and sporty and I like the pedals actually. The dash actually is really nice and yes the darn shifter area is a little off...had some trouble as you can see but unless you stare at it you don't notice much.

I think it looks great and you did a fantastic job. I'm impressed. It has a wonderfully rich look to it. It must make you that much happier to get in the car. Hard to imagine as that is.

...wood...

 

[otnielarencibia]

You did a really nice job. I'd call the company and tell them to fix that shifter part though. Other than that it looks great!!!

Better pics...

I think these are better pics. My fault on shifter being off a little....it got stuck on there and could not move it.

 

[cruzdreamer]

...wood...

yes...wood....
Can't go with more silver....and piano black would be too much I think along with carbon fiber sooooo....charcoal cherry wood it was!

 

[hectik1]

Not bad at all.

 

[mixmasterlove]

I am thinking of the piano black

 

[spike blue]

me too o the carbon fiber but you did a wonderfull job!!!

 

[ZooM-Skip]

Awesome job.

 

[cruzdreamer]

Thanks all for your compliments....it really looks better in person so if you are considering a dash kit I would recommend it!

I would like to see the carbon fiber kit. Nice job just not into the wood. I would ilek to do carbon fiber or the gloss black everyone is talking about.
