Many of you may remember my idea of adding 3LT Kalahari parts to my 3LT jet black because I didn't want Kalahari seats.

Thanks to those who told me to do it and the guy who photoshopped it for me.

I made the jump!!! I'd also like to thank Cultrag for all the parts. They all came in flawless!

I like it. Good job. Wonder if it would work with a 2lt AR interior?

Thank you. That ultimately made my decision and I took the plunge!

Looks Awesome! Do you have the part number but for adrenaline red ones, I would really like one to change to an 3LT red interior(I have a 2LT so it doesn't go all the way to the dash)

Thanks,
Sky

Looks great, I did the same thing except in grey. Really adds color to the black interior and when people look inside the car, the dash is what they look at first.

OP: Can't tell from the pics. Did you do the trim piece that runs down the driver door from the cowl over the Instrument Panel? If so, was it difficult?

Looks really good.

IMHO, the only thing I wouldn't have done would be the passenger side vent section, only because now it doesn't flow w/ the door.

This looks great otherwise as the colors pop... the full Kalahari dash is too much. That is exactly how it should have come from BG.

You can not do that side drivers door piece alone, you must buy an entire door panel, same as the passenger side.

I know it may not be for everyone but it looks great to me. Not too much Kalahari to where its overwhelming but subtle highlights of it.

Very unique, I almost switched to 2. Lt to get my Kalahari off the dash
