Aluminum dash

Can any of you guys put some sites up cuz im lookin for aluminum dash to put in my corolla. I am wondering how u put the dash in? if any of you guyys have e already done it please tell me how u did it.

thanks
AK

You can find it on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2403159462&category=33705 As to puttting it in it is all double stick tape and just tapes over your current dash. There is nothing that you have to "put in" just peel and stick.

make sure u clean tha surface before putting on tha new pieces so u can get a stong bond from tha 3m tape between ur old piece and new piece 8)

paint it like i did,

only cost me $25 bucks cuz i did it my self

sweet job RollaS!!! Where did u get ur paint and what type of paint did u use? Did u use a primer and a sealant? Once again sweet mod!!! Now this is a mod i can afford.

i got the paint from an auto store in my area, I used Sem vinyl cleaner first and then used duplicolor Vinyl and fabric spray-smoke silver color. sprayed on a whole lotta coats and that was it. Didn't prime or seal, put it on it July and shows no signs of chipping or anything. And thanks for the comments i'm glad you like it.

OH! here's the link for the spray i used, it says no need to prime and it won't chip. it dries flexible.

Damn bro that looks nice as hell... Good job... Btw howd u remove your dash peices?

i just basically pulled it apart gently. Had no idea what to do, so just wiggled on everything and looked for screws.

Hey AK check out autoaccessorystore.com if u still lookin for that aluminum dash kit. If i were you i would start researchin how RollaS did his save u lots a $$$. By the way, how many coats did u put on your pieces RollaS???

I am very impressed it really looks sharp rollaS! Unfortunetly i am lazy which mean i would end up with the stick on kit

RollaS - Nice work! Very innovative and it looks killer.

thanks for all the comments guys, SF: i couldn't tell you exactly how many coats but i would say around 10, I just kept sprayin and sprayin. Was a good way to spend a nice summer day.

Oh! and if any of you plan on doing this make sure you do a really good job of masking off the area that has all the temp controls. I didn't do good enough and got a lil bit of paint on the sticker. cost me $20 bucks to get a new sticker from toyota.

i dont want to mess up my interior cuz if ido i wil lget pissed so im gonna go the safe way and get the aluminum dash kit cuz i think itll look as good but theonly bad thing is the price :cry:

Looks great rolla I saw your car on car domains before i came here. Im gonna get a dash kit myself or paint not sure which way yet. First I need to get tinted and get my visors on and get the rear visor.

That 3M peel and stick can be a pain in the ass if the glue isn't heated up enough. Took me several times to get most of them to stay stuck to the panels, and even then it's kinda messed up cause my wife overheated the shifter colum piece a little too much and it warped a bit...guess thats what you get when the wife helps out on the car!

ask Zero for some help (& pics)...i think he bought the dash kit and it turned out good too

heh thanks...but i think rollaS's painted dash looks much better...




its pretty easy to install...just peal and apply i used a blow dryer to heat it up...the only thing was that some pieces didn't fit very well

where did you get it

your car looks great where did you get the dash kit and how much did you pay. what pieces did not fit and how did you fix that problem

RollaS, how did you really take off your dash, i have done this in the pass to my old corolla, but i kept scratching the dash. How did you take them out without scratching the dash pieces, and those 2 compartment pieces, i cant figure out how to take them out. Thanks

the first few parts are easy

The first part you take of is the part around your Emegancy break then 2 the bolts in the bottom of the box between the 2 seats then you should see the rest

I bought a Brushed Aluminum dash kit for my 03 from www.exoticwooddash.com. It's not installed yet because I'm in Pakistan right now and my car's in Germany, but I'll post pics as soon as I get back.
