dash kit

[gcwimmer]

Hey gcwimmer, you got any close up pics of your dash kit? Can you see the silver from under the kit peeking out - at the corners? In your pic from the back seat, I can't really see much silver.

As you can see there is the original silver half round bar that separates the radio and the climate control, the slot for the CD, the area around the climate control LED's and the raised portion of the shifter that you can see the silver plastic, the wood pieces taper down at all edges, it is not a sharp ridge. I see this as an accent since I have the sport with real aluminum pieces not as it is "peeking out" I applied the real wood pieces because I did not like all of that plastic. If Lincoln had used real aluminum like my other pieces I would have left it alone.

I like my look of real wood and real aluminum and not so much plasitic, painted or not......to each their own.

Gcwimmer, I'm with you. I kinda like the wood dash and think yours looks real sharp.

I have the kit in my Gen I LS Sport. I installed the wood steering wheel and transmission shifter knob. The pictures on this tread do it no justice. I realy like the kit. I don't know much about cameras. My pictures are too big. Otherwise I'd post some pics.

GC's look good cause it pops like the OEM pieces but that other stuff is garbage. I still think its overkill though.

I think painting its the way to go if you want a solid color cause your not just hiding something you dont want.

my dealer says a great idea would be to color match the interior to the outside

 

[lsdarkshadow]

Dope dealer?

 

[PetesSweets86]

yes...my dope dealer does cars too

 

[lsdarkshadow]

Most dope dealers do. It's those pesky crack dealers that ride bikes.

Dope dealer?

:bowrofl: LMAO

I still think its overkill though.

+1 I didn't use the whole kit.

Has anyone done their dash, and have the very top cover, where the "FUEL/RESET/STATUS/SET-UP" buttons are, and the top A/C vents left over in the "sport" silver finish?

The screw bosses for the switches busted, and the switches push into the cover.
I have had it off, and it looks simple enough...just need the cover.

Anyone?

I'm not sure if I'm tracking. Your talking about repairning the center vent cover. Your controls for the message center have broken off. Is that correct?

 

[drag214]

Garbon, sorry about that.
I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Yeah I had the same problem. The center vent pops right out. I put some glue on the message center controls to make sure they wouldn't come off again and covered the vents with the dash kit.

 

[Garbone]

Yeah, I replied to Garbone for this on a different thread. He posted the same question in about 3 or 4 threads to try and make sure someone responded to it.

I think we got him covered. Hopefully he's on the other side now.

- Go into the light..... all are welcome in the light.....


TRU

Yes, I got it off. It was real easy, but the bosses that the switches screw to, crumbled in my fingers, and I now need a new top panel.

Anyone out there have a sport silver top panel laying around???

 

[Garbone]

I guess not....

Quick and another guy here in MN, he hasnt been on in a long time though, jk##### or something... 15798 or something like that. It actually looked really good for just stick over covers

Come on CrackerJack, you would not forget your MN meet friend
John (jk52781). Yes I have the overlay pieces on part of the dash. I will have to take some pics, but that probably will not happen. I feel so lazy today.

im thinking about doing the same thing. I had all my pieces except for the door pieces sent off to be professionally painted. they are color coded matched exactly to the outside of the car. i also have silver smoke going thru the pieces which actually looks nice, not overdone and ricer like but in the long piece in front of the shift, it says smoking inside of the smoke and I dont like that. me and the company got mixed signals with it and its to late to get it fixed so its kind of been bugging me. also i didnt get the door pieces done so their still silver which I thought would still compliment the interior and it does ok, but im still not sure. So im thinking about getting the kit and covering all my door pieces and maybe one piece on the dash so to where its jus ceramic white like the outside and wood grain in the car instead of so many things clashing you know. this is an old thread but I was just putting my info
