Aluminum Interior...?
Just looking for any opinions on the Aluminum Interior. I was thinking about buying it, but I wanted to see what some other owners thought?? How is Installation and is it pretty good quality?

My opinion-It leaves too many gaps where the stock dash can be seen. If you have the grey stock dash, I think it'd look quite nice, but if you have the wood dash, I think you may be disappointed.

I have the carbon fiber dash kit..I was warned about the gaps too..just make sure you line up the pieces as well as possible..dont hurry the install..you will be happy..go for it..I considered the kit in question as well but im going with a dark charcoal paint scheme..thus the cf fit best

It leaves a lot of gaps...
My opinion, as i have done, take out all the faux wood finish in the car, get 1500 and 1800 sand papers, rub them till the faux wood finish is gone, paint them all the desired color with lacquer finish except the A/C switches panel. on the latter, after say the silver paint is on and before the lacquer finish, cut small letters with vynil like CIRC and OFF...., stick them to the A/C panel then paint it with lacquer (so you have first the paint , then the vynil letters then the lacquer) which will hold the letter from falling off.... Nice trick, isn't it? but i dunno how much they charge in the states for such a paintjob.... but it is worth the $$$

Not sure if you are referring to our kits, but we rarely get
any complaints on our dashkits. Did you see the kit in the kit on our 5 spd car ? Painting any visible faux woods a really good idea, but in most cases not needed. Btw, we offer discounts for new members and any or all orders

Welcome. Laguna Blue is the best! Admittedly, I may be a little biased.
I would also suggest an Alcyone SVX patch to match your future Alcyone hood emblem. I still have about a dozen left (from the one-time only run of 110). Send me a PM if interested. http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...ue14/21397.jpg http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...ue14/21398.jpg |
