    New Dash Kit out

    Here's a picture of the first dash kit that I've seen. I think it is a little over the top, but personally, I think that if you leave off the "Magnum" strip that is on the passenger side dash, and possibly the piece that goes around the speedo, it could be a winner. I'd also leave off the pieces that go on the HVAC controls and the Radio.

    Hmmmm....too much if you ask me. I do not like the HUGE "MAGNUM" at all.

    But, as you mentioned, the center stack piece does look good.

    What I'd like to see in a trim kit is pieces for the center stack, the trim around the vents (near the doors) and the trim around the window/door locks buttons on the door, and maybe the bottom 2 spokes of the steering wheel ala 300C. I'd like something similar to the dash in the SRT-8 concept. That was classy, and definitely not tacky.

    too much

    I concur - this kit is way over the top. I like the center stack (without the pieces on the components) and the vent surrounds. Also like the strip on the upper doors. Everything else can get the heave-ho, ESPECIALLY the huge "MAGNUM" nameplate.... Why didn't they at least include the two bottom spokes on the steering wheel?
    I'd like to know what that finish is... it looks a little "glossy" or something... looks to maybe match the upper spokes on the steering wheel possibly.
    ordering momentarily....

    Does anyone know if the center stack piece "wraps" around the top? or does it just cover the face of the center? I want something that looks as OE as possible and this seems to be the point at which it will either look original or look tacked on...
    ordering momentarily....

    ok, then you guys are officially too picky. That kit it just about everything the concept had that the production car doesn't. Plus you don't need to install every piece. Sigh.

    The basic kit might be okay. I would still install less than half of it. Just have to see how it looks.
