If you've ever wanted a classy wooden dashboard, like the one coming with new Audi and Jaguar models, you should know there is an easy and affordable way to have it. Using an aftermarket dash kit is a pretty cheap option to have a brand new classy looking dashboard. These kits are also the perfect solution for hiding and patching up discolored or cracked car interior.
Dash trim kits are specifically made for every car make and model, and further customization is usually available upon request. Dash kits come in various colors and wood grains, as well as carbon fiber, aluminium and chrome finishes. Carbon fiber kits can be made either from a simulated or real carbon fiber. The real carbon fiber is more expensive but the visual effect and the matching with the car exterior that you can achieve with the real fiber is quite amazing.
For some of the car models, the exact factory match finish is available. For instance, when ordering a ford dash kit you can specify a factory match style. For other cars, producing a factory matched kit is a bit more tricky.
The price of a dash kit is determined not only by the chosen finish but also by the number of pieces in the kit. Some of the cheaper small kits have only a few dash panel pieces, but there are very large kits with over 40 pieces that care of every tiny detail in you car, including the armrest, sunroof, doors and more.
