Default Aluminum Dash kit

Looking for any companies that carry an aluminum dash kit to replace the wood grain on the dash and center console. Carbon Fiber would work also, I just want more of a sporty look plus wood grain is starting to crack and look ahhhh tacky Thanks guys

I bought a brushed aluminum dash trim kit. My opinion... find new wood trim to replace the old wood. the kits are not exact fits, there are curves to the wood trim that even the best made kits will not conform to. You will always have a gap at the edges that are not butting up against another part (such as the gear shift area, or around the tuning ***** of the radio, or over the AC vents, the seem of the front ash tray, all the door peices, front and back) I was fortunate that the peices they sent me were not brushed so I was able to return for my money back. ......just an opinion.

hmmm.. I don't remeber. If you do a &oo&le search it will bring up a bunch of sites, you can also check that big auction site. I ended up painting my trim with silver paint. it came out ok.
