    Dash kits ALL look like shit.

    Some strategic painting of certain dash pieces MIGHT look ok, but likely won't hold up (paint will rub off with use).

    Best advice is to leave the dash alone.

    Yea, I totally agree with preparation is everything...especially when it comes to that double sided sticky tape. Had to deal a lot with the 3m adhesive when I was installing security systems in the VI....don't drill through the person million dollar window to secure the device..just tape it up there! There is definitely a method to that madness.

    Yup, my mom's louvers are stuck on with 3M tape...7 years now, no issues. And the stupid fake fender gills and hood scoops at Canadian Tire seem to last forever too.

    Too many to list. See build page. Link in signature
    If your still considering this, Google or better yet, YouTube "hydrodip" as mentioned above. I won't waste time explaining but I guarantee once you watch 1 or 2 videos it will blow your mind and you'll be getting that done asap! Its amazing!!

    Like the CF look, but stayed away due to peeling. This will typically hurt resale if left. Would be tragic if it didn't peel off clean.
