Brushed aluminum dash overlay

Found this on EBAY. It looks like it could look great or like pure crap, depends on the rest of your interior I guess.

I would think it would look out of place if you had some piece of aluminum on the dash and nowhere else on the car..........

I agree with NFS, save the money and get some white face gauges instead......

I think that with the 91-92 guages it would look like crap, especially with all the plastic trim all over the place. On a car with the earlier guages it might look good, even better with a brushed aluminum shifter ****, ect.
Looks REALLY cheap though!

My grandfather got me one of those from the same people. It doesnt look too bad, but would look better like you guys say with more brushed aluminum in my car. That is why i am in the process of making my own stuff. I also think it would look better with silver or white face guages. I will try to get some pics in the next couple days if anyone is interest?

Sure, because Krylon adds every bit as much class as brushed aluminum.
