Your car reflects your personality, which is why you chose to be a proud owner of a Ford Mustang.  If you are the type of person who likes the look of fine materials then you must have a wood dash in your car. This dash will let you feel like you are driving one of the finest cars in the world, like a Rolls Royce, a Ferrari, Jaguar or other world class automobile.

If your Ford Mustang did not come with a wooden dash trim kit then you should be looking at a dash trim kit.  These dash kits are available from a variety of manufacturers, and each company uses different manufacturing techniques, materials in creating their wood dash trim kits.

There are a range of things you should be aware of before you make a final decision on which dash trim kit you would like to buy.

  • Your first decision is how much money you would like to spend to improve the interior looks of your Ford Mustang.
  • Your second decision is based on the answer to the first one. Will you be looking for real wooden dash kit product or imitation dash kit.
  • Some manufacturers offer a choice of either one.  A real wooden dash just looks more affluent and it gives a warmer impression, however the new imitation dash trim kits are very realistic looking.
  • When choosing a trim kit you can also choose between a flat material and molded product.  Molded products tend to look nicer.
  • The next decision revolves around the method of manufacturing.  A kit cut out using a laser give you a much more precision fit than other methods.
  • Make sure to review the trim kit instructions online to verify they make sense and are easy to read.  You should be able to install the kit by yourself in most cases.
  • Next take a look at how the trim kit material is bonded to your dashboard. Some dash kits come with a double sided adhesives, this is what I would recommend and is fairly common. Other dash kits use adhesives which will you must apply. This can get a pretty messy and it may not hold quite as well because of gaps in the application. Using the adhesives tends to be the harder way to install your kit and is not recommended.
  • Final areas to consider include verifying your kit comes with a guarantee, and the trim kit material is safe in UV exposure or will it fade out over time.

These are the important factors you should take into consideration when choosing your wood dash trim kit for your Ford Mustang.
