anybody have pics of dash kits? or any ideas of how they look?

 

I'll post a couple pics. You can see the car at www.freewebs.com/bocabluez Also, I have a number of companies that sell dash kits on my links page, Dave

 

last one....

 

The ones that I think look the best if you are willing to spend the money for them are the Suite E dash kits. Their web site is www.elegantwooddesign.com They have plenty of pics at the website. The 350z is one of the cars they have the most dash kit mods for so check it out. I am looking into getting one from them myself as soon as I save up the cash.

 

I agree Srivero. As soon as I can Throw a Grand away, That's what I'll do. For now I can live with my overlay......$230.00

 

I agree that Suite E Grafix is the best looking "Dash Kit" on the market right now, but for those on a budget, the above dash kit is pretty good.

Here are a few pix of the "CF" version

 

Yeah i was a hairpin away from buying one last week, the main 5 piece set (main console, shifter piece, nav door, and L + R armbars) in Daytona Blue CF finish for the 575 price, but I decided instead to use my money to buy a VeilSide V.3 Hood.

Right now Im debating if I should save up for the dash kit next. I have some money stored away for my rims as soon as spring time comes but other than that I have been buying a lot of stuff for my car lately and I dont have all that much. I guess I have to put more thought into it.

Either way, this is definately on my list of things to do and I will eventually have it in the car.

 

I would love to do rims but the only thing I have about it is if I go 19s or 20s, then you have to get bigger cross-drilled and slotted brakes. It looks kinda funny w/ large wheels and tiny rotors.........Doing this, you can figure doubling the cost of a set of new tires and rims....:-( As I said before, some day, and all In good time..........

 

this looks good.

The only thing I dont like about it is that it only covers the front of the dash, it doesnt wrap around the sides of it like the Suite E does.

 

i have yet to see one dash kit that i think looks good.

 

www.elegantwooddesign.com look at the 350z dash kits at that website. They are really nice, just really expensive too.

 

I would want it to wrap around

 

Yeah me too. Thats why I want the Suite E dash kit, my only dilemma is that it costs 450 for the dash alone, not including the center console.

In my opinion, if youre gonna do up your interior, its worth it. I just dont have the extra money right now. Like I said before, its on my list, Ill eventually get it done.

 

i'd think that leather would be an awesome idea, like exotic cars (ferrari, lambo, etc... NSX). leather surface interior. someone should start having one installed in their Z and see how it looks. who wants to volunteer for the experiment? (im not doing it)

 

Im not a huge fan of leather personally. I like the more solid surface, like carbon fibre or even a painted fibreglass. Leather looks good in some cars, but I like CF better in my 350.

 

I just think the real replacment kits in Aluminum would look great on a DB Z like mine. then again some painted fiberglass like said above would look good that way you could do the doors also

 

I'm pretty sure the elegantwood designs does'nt just wrap around it. It actually replaces the dash, console, etc.....

 

correct. They mail you a brand new dash piece that has had the dash kit installed on it and when you receive it you have to send them your stock piece back.

 

im custom painting mine, ill post up some pics when im done with it, probably in about a month or two. Im painting allsorts of stuff on the inside.
