I just installed my sony HU a few days ago, and im wondering if i should paint the dash black to match the dash kit, or get HFP kit, or leave it silver.

Any one have any of these other looks besides stock? Post pics please.
If i leave it silver ill probably paint it a brighter silver like the 04-05's get.

I kinda like it the way it looks but wondering how it might look with the other options, before i do it and hate it, and i dont really want to paint the kit silver either, unless someone as a pic of that

don't paint it! the colors won't match and it'll be worse. I don't think it looks bad at all. Me personall I would take apart all the parts and paint them all together a different color. Colors i would pic would be gloss black or flat black. :mcool:

Really? what about HFP? wold that look good? I guess i like the silver with black, gives it contrast , but id really like to see an all black dash with the kit

I did my kit gloss thinking it would look good with the HFP trim kit and I HATED it! Sanded it down and went flat and I like it much better.

Hey, anyone know what the color is of our dash, whats the silver called, because I want to start touching up the interor and I was going to apply a few layers on all the silver things.

That's not even fair, mine was like dark greyish. Can't complain though because it came free with a wiring harness too with my deck. I just painted it black and it looks alright now.

I like the way flat black looks. Some guys on here did a really good job with their dash.

Mine did not match either, don't feel alone, I cut it up to make my current kit and painted it black :msmile:

They arent really really colors. 02-03 is like a flat aluminum, 04-05 has a mettalic silver color. Hard to match, just paint the whole thing a new color

I think the black looks good, the only reason I have a silver one is that my CD player was ordered from Crutchfield and it was free! My silver matches the dash perfectly BTW.
