Not my choice of colors but it all looks like a good paint job, no runs in the paint ect.
Good job.

I actually don't mind the stock dash ect. But I understand not all do.

Paitence is a virtue, swore I would never pull a dash again just to paint it unless it was with a ball pien hammer!

I'll be uploading new pictures of the dash installed soon today.

I've dealt with dashes from Sebrings, Rangers, F150s and a junk Taurus. These dakota dashes are very easy to get out but can be a pain to get back on. For mine, I have to push the bottom left part UNDER the bottom of the metal, and then push the bottom right side down under the bottom (under the radio part), then push it in.

The main thing I hate about these are the stupid rubber things that go over the steering wheel. I might try leaving it off when reinstalling my dash.
