Customized Dash Kits
by Will Baum
Dash kits transform the
interior of your car the way a new paint job transforms the exterior. There's no
point in spending hundreds of dollars buffing up your car's exterior without
paying some attention to what's inside. After all, the inside of the car is what
you see when you're driving. The dashboard is right there in front of you, mile
after mile.
Cars arrive with factory dashes that often leave much to be desired. Gray
plastic is a perplexingly popular dash in many late-model American cars. Sure,
you can leave it as it is. But you're in your car an awful lot. Why not dress it
up?
There are an amazing number of
options available once you decide to soup up your dashboard. Dash kits come in a
huge variety of materials and colors. Wood dashes are an especially popular
favorite. Some luxury cars come with wood dashes as standard equipment. Just
because your car didn't come that way doesn't mean it has to look any less
glamorous inside.
You can order wood dashes that
use any number of woods and stains. Synthetic wood dashes are a less expensive
option that gets you a very similar look and feel. For a more modern look, there
are carbon fiber dash kits. Carbon fiber kits come in nearly every color of the
rainbow. Futuristic chromes and aluminum colors are a sporty alternative to both
wood and bright colors. Some dash kits come with paintable components, allowing
you to truly customize your dash. Your car's interior can be your personal
canvas.
Consider ordering samples
before making your final dash kit decision. There's nothing quite like holding a
sample up to your existing dash to help you narrow down your choices. Though
this might cost you a few dollars up front, it's well worth that minimal cost.
