Jaak in TO Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I received the dash kit from Edashkit last week and found some time to install it on Sunday. EdashKit It took about an hour to install it. I had ordered the Birdseye Maple. There are a few notes on the install: 1. The 3M promoter stick is not needed. I had used it on the center console which created some problems. When it comes in contact with the adhesive on the rear of the trim ... it sticks like crazy!!! It is hard to remove to re position the trim piece. I would leave out this step as the trim pieces are on with no chance of peeling off. 2. Get more cleaning swabs. The kit does not have enough. Overall I am happy with the kit. just wish the colour was a bit lighter ... but it does "finish" off the interior. Seems this was what I felt that was missing.

Lex Talionis Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I am not a big fan of this type of stuff, but I will admit, this does not look half bad really. makes it look a little more.. "rich" well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaak in TO Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Lex ... thanks! This is what the Edge needs to complete it as far as I see. It is not going overboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyz95 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I, too, am not a big fan of the wood look but I agree it does look quite decent and appealing. Very nice ! Good job ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYEdge Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Although I don't like the wood kit for the Edge, the fit and finish look great. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicon Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree that this does look nice. I too am not big on the wood look, but it does class up the interior look of the Edge. I really like that the kit covers up the silver finish on the ac vents. The glare off these vents are really noticable at times for me. I noticed that their website offers other finishes besides wood. Maybe something to consider later. For me, the steeda cold air kit is the first major mod, then custom exhuast, then custom tune.

Jaak in TO Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 One of the reasons I got the kit ... that "chrome" did reflect a lot of sunlight ... not to mention the fingerprints!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanche Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Lex ... thanks! This is what the Edge needs to complete it as far as I see. It is not going overboard. Jaak, Looks good and tastefully done. I would like to do this only around the shifter and power port. The steering wheel is a nice touch too. Are these covers replacement parts? If not, are they removable w/o damage to the original trim? I'm asking just in case the next owner wants the "stock" look. Thanks Much, Sanche Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Much, Sanche In a nutshell, this, like many wood kits overlays the stock stuff and is only held with either adhesive or tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaak in TO Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Sorry ... was on 2 weeks vacation. Yes, they can be removed as they are held in place with 3M two-sided tape. A bit hard to get off ... but can be done with a hair dryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
