Dash Kit
 

I was looking at this dash kit MIC006-A011
2003-05 Mitsubishi Eclipse - Basic Trim Kit with CD or Cassette Radio in Brushed Aluminum Each $137.50
1) is this a good deal? 2) is it hard to install?

I am trying to decide between painting (which seems really hard)

Painting is easy just time consumming and only cost all of maybe $35. I think that dash kits a tad tacky but so is painted dashes as well but the 3G needs a little spice inside it is rather plain

True dat. I totally agree the 3G dash is boring. I was thinking of only triming the vent and cluster circles. my doors are already two tone. I have been working on custom inserts for seats just for that gay pattern in the middle of each seat I am going to do a black insert and sew/glue then add piping if done right should look nice.

If you are looking for "Brushed aluminum," try and avoid the cheap kits - the brushed aluminum look is nowhere near what real brushed aluminum looks like.

Trim kits are not hard to install at all - they are basically giant stickers that you put on top of your existing trim. Hardest part is lining them up perfectly so it doesn't look like crap.

Painting is easy - hardest part is taking off the trim pieces (not hard at all) and its more time consuming than anything.

Man those dash kits are straight from the flames of hell....those are so hard to install... I would just try to paint.... but that i just my opinion, the painted ones usually look better than other ones too....
