Kick panel billet set?

I'm trying to find something like carpet to go in my kick panels for my 83, but instead of carpet I want a type of chrome that will match the billet instrument cluster I have... Does anyone know if anyone makes these?

This is what I want, just chrome instead of carpet: http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=128 "Kick Panel Carpet Set"

Re: Kick panel billet set?

i always thought cutting a piece of polished diamond plate would look cool on a kick panel

Re: Kick panel billet set?

Yeah, I saw someone do that, but he also had a Diamond plate instrument cluster and such, I may try that. I'm just not sure how well it would fit with my current setup

I'm pretty sure this is the exact truck I saw. I saw the picture on this forum. It looks awesome!

Re: Kick panel billet set?

I'd be interested to see the brushed aluminum kick panels...the original interior of mine was tan/brown/ and wood trim but I'm already putting in brushed aluminum and if I had kick panels like that it would look really cool...might have to worry about denting if a little since it's at your feet and such...
