I am thinking about adding a dash kit to give my SuperCrew. Does anyone have any pics of aftermarket dash kits? I am probably going to buy from www.alkaplus.com , but I can decide what style I want. I like the brushed aluminum, the carbon fiber, and the light rosewood. If anyone has some pics I would love to see them.

Thanks

The brushed aluminum gets HOT in the sun. I have a gray interior, so I got gray/black carbon fiber, looks great, but no pics yet!

 

Femseadoo,

Is the fact that the brushed aluminum gets hot the only reason you went with carbon fiber?? If you get any pics I would love to see them.

Thanks

Sounds like you've already made your decision, fordboy. Go frit!!

 

Fordboy,
A company sent me some samples, so I sat in the truck and compared. The alum. looked good, but the carbon fiber looked the best in my opinion because it really matched the seats/dash. I also like how it changes color and pattern at different angles. I have a friend that put the alum. in his car and he burned his hand a couple of times when he touched the door piece, but I'm in AZ.

 

Hey FordBoy. I got a great real wood dash from exoticwooddash.com. If you have tan interior, that's what I would recommend. But if you have grey, then maybe the brushed aluminum.

Fordboy: Show us some pics when you get done. Has anyone else bought trim from that company? Wood interior for $168 sounds to good to be true!

I think with the lower price you get less pieces. I looked at exoticwood.com and saw 5 piece kits, etc. and I didn't see the a/c vent pieces. The one I put in my truck has 47 usable pieces.
