Default Prelude Aluminum Dash Kit

What do you guys think of this? I think it will look great in my silver 97 Lude.

Dude, just take your dash apart and paint them then put clear coat on them. These "dash kits" are like stickers and look gay. One of the guys at school has this Carbon fiber dash kit and it was nasty. The honda OEM CF dash kit was 1000000 time better, and at handaaccessories about the same price ($120) or something like that. Good luck modding.

Thanks man, I agree that OEM looks better. But I cant stand the hideous look of carbon fiber personally.

Aluminum looks great to me. I bought 2 wood trim pieces for my Accord and even though they were stick-ons, they looked damn good.

Yea, just paint the pieces to match your car. I think it looks a lot better. I think there is a write-up somewhere about how to do that. I don't know if it is on this board or some other prelude board.

i had a CF trim kit...looked poo. now i have a brushed alumminum kit. it looks nice...better then a spray painted one. although, that's just for brushed aluminum. i'm about to paint mine to color match. With the right paint/clear coat, it does look good. did it to a few other people cars.

I am either going to paint the interior---or just make it easy and buy an aluminum dash kit, haha.

I am just hoping the dash kit sticks nicely.
