Save tons on Wood Grain interiors DIY
When purchasing a new car a lot of dealers try to upsell the
customer with items such as undercoating, extended warranties,
wheels, scotchguard and my personal favorite wood grain dash
kits.
Over the years I have earned a bit of respect from my customers
by advising them wood grain interiors can be installed easily at
home and can save the customer anywhere from 700.00-1000.00.
At our dealership we purchase Dash Kits from Edashkit.com. We
then charge the customer a full retail price and installation
which ends up on average around 800.00 to right under 1000.00.
The kits cost us anywhere from 100.00-250.00 each and can now be
purhased by customers directly from edashkit.com. The one reason
why are company still uses Edashkit.com instead of the others is
because of its special poly coating on the dash kits that allows
us to guarantee our work to the customer for life. Since 1998 we
have been installing their kits and to date not one claim has
been filed.
I asked Edashkit.com for permission to use their instructions
page to conclude this write up and have been granted permission.
Here goes- Good luck and enjoy your dash trim kit.
Pre-Installation Steps
Check Fit and Alignment Clean surface with alcohol wipes. Step 1
Carefully check fit of each dash piece to ensure proper
alignment. Do not remove red backing at this time. Step 2 Use
Alcohol Pad to wipe surface clean. The surface must be free of
all debris and oils(armor all,etc) for the kit to adhere
properly. Step 3 Carefully apply adhesion promoter. (included)
Only apply to areas to be covered with kit. Step 4 For larger
pieces carefully position dash piece in plate. Carefully pull
back top half and remove red liner work from middle back to top
then carefully remove red liner and continue with middle to
bottom. (For small pieces you can remove entire red liner) Step
5 To complete installation firmly press dash into position and
hold momentarily. Step 6 After kit is installed use a clean soft
cloth and wipe(polish) to finish.
