Default Any Pictures of 84-89 Brushed Aluminum Dash Kits?

I was thinking of buying a brushed aluminum dash kit for my '88 but I have not see any pictures of what it would look like. Anyone have any pictures? Did you prefer the original look or did it updated your car a little?

Looks good, but the 84-88 has the kit come with a big rectangle to replace the ugly dash pad on the passenger side. I'm just afraid that it might be too much Brushed Aluminum inside. It looks great on the 91-96 models, I would just be curious if it looks as good on the older C4's.

The answer to this is very simple.
Just don't install the stuff you don't want.
I've been looking into the carbon fiber dash kits, and I really can't see myself using everything they include, too much carbon fiber is too busy, better to just get accents here and there.

I did not use the whole kit either just the center and around the light switch(which I put on 1/8in off )

I put in the dash pieces and the bread box eleminator. Looks good.

You got any pictures? I want to see an 84-89 vette with it, just to get an idea.
