Default Dash trim

Would this fall under rice, :ghey: or cool.

I've always liked the cars from the early 40s that had the wood dash trim, so I did some research and found a place that makes one for my Accord. Now what category would that fall under???

titanium and brushed aluminum are nice. wood look is kinda for old peeps, and chrome is just dumb.

Wood in a civic would look weird IMO, but might be classy in an Accord. I like brushed aluminum the best. I got mine at www.nycdashes.com

Bleck. If the stuff just sticks on top of the existing panels it'll look mad stupid. Some cars are just meant to have stock-ish interiors if you ask me. The only car I'd like to mess with the interior bits majorly is an FD.



The swath of plastic that runs from around the gauges to the stereo and a/c controls and down to around the shifter/center console...I'd redo the whole thing in carbon fiber. There's some company that will take your stock panels and use them as a base to mold cf aroudn so when you get them back you have real vacuum-formed carbon fiber interior panels that bolt right into place.
