Default Dash kits?

Hey guys I was just wondering if anybody know wheres to get a dash kit for cheap, I dont need a 56048759489 piece kit like all of them out there just like, 4 or 5 pieces thats it.

I keep finding kits that cover EVERYTHING for like $300 and I only wanna cover the window switches and the area around the radio/climate controls, I did find one company that has vinyl ones for like $30 but idk what it covers or how it looks cuz they don't have any pictures.

I know a lotta daytona's have the kit covering just the spots I'm talking about but dont know where to find them...

possibly thought about having it match my truck (white)??? may look good, idk...which is why I'm looking cheap hahaha

even if theres a cheap black one I'll paint over it or something.

Found this website. I've never done any business with them before but you can get a white kit.

A lot of people on here have items from MRK Group. Please don't buy stickers and call it a dash kit

Here's a link

I am not sure about dash kits but my good friend has been doing custom air brushing, some of which was interior parts. He has been in the auto painting business for like 12 years and hes starting to go off on his own. If I had a pics I would post them but I don't. It would cost more but it would be different from everyone elses truck. I am going to have him do all the woodgrain in my truck with the same color as the outside, but with ghost effects in it. I don't like the woodgrain. Everything is done with auto paint, not the cheap crap you buy in cans. If I come across any Dash kits though I will let you know!

i think i heard about a guy hear who took his off and painted it. im not sure how that went though. i guess you could just buy some vinyl yourself and cut it out to fit on your dash. thats a relatively cheap and effective option

I painted my ***** and the small bezel around my aftermarket radio myself. It was pretty easy and really cheap. I used the fusion spray paint for plastics. Sanded the pieces a little to make sure the paint would stick and it looks great. I havent posted any pics yet but i will.

I took my center bezel off tore it apart and sanded the texture down until completly smooth and painted it. But you can see in the pics the ghost effects of the texture showing through, even though it was wet sanded after every coat.
