Yes or no?

I'm not really a "High tech" person. These came with a project truck I bought. The question is:

Yes or no?

Carbon fiber guage cluster...no...unless your whole truck is themed like that. the dash pad guages are nice though , kind of a muscle car throw-back. Sell the carbon fiber piece and get a restored factory dash in my opinion.

I think no on both because I don't like carbon fiber and if you put the dash up for sale I know it would go quickly.

Dash pad yes, cluster NO. I like high tech stuf and still don't like that cluster. At least not in these trucks.

:agree:

I am not a fan of the carbon fiber look of the guage cluster....unless you are crafting a truck that is true to the idea and carry the theme all the way through.

I would have to say drop the gauge cluster and keep the pad.

I vote ditch them both, as cool as the dash pad is it doesn't quite look right.

ditch them both..... BUT who makes the dash pad. never seen one with the molded in gauge pods.

sorry 'bout the hijack.

LeDevil 10-19-2008 08:51 PM

I say ditch both of them and sell them to me =)

I would say it totally depends on what you want to do with the truck. If you are goin for the street custom truck look i say keep them and paint the dash to match. If you are goin to restore it to origanal or close to it ditch the carbon fiber cluster. Anyway thats just my two cents. Hope you figure it out!!

thats how I feel .The carbon look on the glove box and cluster could look cool if the thyme of the truck is done right

Have to pick the theme and follow it throughout the whole truck. These would work good on the right truck if there was follow through...

Critter 10-19-2008 09:41 PM

Re: Yes or no?
 
My opinion is similar to others, no cluster. The dash pad is kinda cool depending on the truck. If the truck is mostly original though I wouldn't keep it there.

Re: Yes or no?
 
Depending on the rest of the truck the dash pad could be cool. The cluster needs to go. I've never liked those clusters, not in carbon fiber or anything else. It just flow with the rest of the interior.



Just my.02
