If you are looking to bring the interior back to stock when you plan on selling it, then a dash kit is the easiest way to do that. The problem with dash kits is there aren't enough pieces IMO which makes it looks kind of underdone. Of course, I'm in the process of painting my entire interior so mine is obviously a little overdone.

Painted! That way everything fits nice, and you can get any color you want. I painted mine in a marble, shiny, green color. Dark green, Jewel Green I believe was the exact color.

I'd paint it. Hahah I did paint it actually. My interior is a two-tone silver and candy/blue. Paint is nice because you aren't limited to the color selection of a trim company. Usually they've got squat to choose from. Just check out my profile to see mine. And before you do anything check out doggy's, if he's still got any pics of his up. Doggy's interior is beautiful.

id say pay a shop to paint it for you.
ive seen painted ones that went wrong and they looked very bad. right now my interrior looks very classy (see profile) and i wouldnt want to **** it up with spray paint. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Mine's painted silver and I'd say go w/ paint but you have to do it right. All my stuff has 3-5 coats+ clearcoat. I probably spent about $65+ on the materials (paint and sandpaper mostly) but it looks much better than some of the interiors I've seen around my town of ppl who didnt do it right. Good Luck. Check my profile for pics, although I have about twice as much painted now as I had in those pics.
