I am having some major issues deciding which dash kit to get. I have a red 98 celi w/a black drop top, black leather interior.
So should I go for chrome... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Celi...1QQcmdZViewItem OR brushed aluminum... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Celi...1QQcmdZViewItem --------------------  "Pain is weakness leaving the body of the strong" |

I dig brushed aluminum......
Just be careful... a lot of the ebay dash trim kits dont fit 100%. That is what I have read in other forums and on here. I ended up getting myself some Krylon fusion paint. Its a metallic gray and bonds specifically to plastic. I took out my dash pieces and my door handle inserts, cleaned them up with some alcohol and did a few coats of the fusion paint. It all came out real nice, no need to sand or prep..... -------------------- -M-

The chrome looks really nice, it's juist annoying cause you may end up scratching the piece if you're not careful. and yes as mentioned when its during sunny days the sun really bounced from it into your eyes. |
