Dash Kit?
I have a spiral grey and thought a brushed aluminum dash kit might dress up the interior. I have been to several shows but have yet to see one so I was wondering want some of your opinions might be. The c6 seems to have added this look, not that I desire a c6.

Just remember, the real ones are like other aluminum surfaces, easily prone to scratches. I think West Coast Corvettes had a replacement kit. I researched it for a while and did not find anything that suited me. I'm very picky about things like that. Do a search and you'll find lots of options (Actually only two decent ones IMHO). Good luck on your search!

RK Sport sells a brushed aluminum kit for the dash. I think I have seen a forum member that has it on the car, but can't remember who it belongs to. Hopefully they will see your thread and give you some details.

Aren't these "brushed aluminum" kits, just some 3M stuff that overlays teh cluster, console or what have you? I saw some of these "brushed aluminum" kits at some of the Vette shows and every one I saw was that stick on stuff that looked like absolute crap.
