Dash Trim Kit = Crap?
Hello 3rdgen,
As always, I would like to thank you for all the help you all have provided me. I am looking to get my interior done in all black (1989 RS LS1/T56).

For the dash, all I can find are these crappy sick on trim kits. Is everyone using these? WHY ARE PICTURES OF THESE KITS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND?!

Where can I find a kit that replaces OEM dash trim as oppose to sticking on top of it?

Re: Dash Trim Kit = Crap?
The dash mounts to the firewall, the colored part that you see is the "trim" (including the pad).

basically I want to know how to turn my dash from brown to black, and I dont want a "stick on" sleeve that go's over the old parts.f

HOW DO I MAKE THE DASH BLACK? WHERE DO I BUY THE PARTS? ANYONE?

Re: Dash Trim Kit = Crap?
yea, I thought of using trim paint. My console and dash are 20 yrs old and in bad condition. alot of the parts need to be replaced. I guess I would use the paint, IF i could find replacement parts to install first.

Guess I am assuming the dash parts are sold in black. Am I correct or wrong? How did you restore your dash?

you can buy the dash already in black, including all the trim. i believe that would be the best; most efficient way to make sure its done right and comes out looking the best.
