Default Interior Dash Customizing.

I'm looking at either painting the silver shiny trim in my ram to red or replacing it with the optional wood grain trim in the Laramie. I don't want it to look too stupid or "ricey" so what would you guys do if you were me?

I was leaning towards just getting the wood grain trim. I have seen wood grain dash kits, but all they are is stick on things. Junk. I'd prefer the OEM stuff, but what do you guys think?

if you like wood grain and veneir (how the hell do you spell it i dont know) than metrorestyling.com has 3m dinoc in several woodgrain styles, dinoc is great to work with you can wrap most anything with it

A lot of the guys on here have been sanding and blacking out their wood grain, you might convince someone to swap you if you can find the right match. What all is wood grained? I know the center bezel is which you can cut out for swapping, not sure about anything else.

I'm going into Brandon, MB on Sunday and I'm going to cross my fingers that one of the auto wreckers has a Ram I can pull panels off of.

I don't want the stick on stuff or the wraps. I just would rather paint it properly or replace the plain silver ones I have with something else.

To answer Ewing111's question, the bezel around the radio and climate controls and the two panels on the door are silver.

Jareski-Seriously talk to Weedahoe. I believe he can paint the center pieces too.His work is top notch professional at a fraction of the price it would cost someone to do it for you...

Thats guys. I do a lot of work on not only just Rams but many other rides. Ive all kinds.

As for red, Ive done several Flame Red paint jobs for my customers and Ive never not once had anyone complain. Alternatively, and for a smaller price tag, red carbon fiber can be done also as well as accents added like this
