When I view an interior of these trucks-I look for a few things first-and any truck builder trying to get huge money should also take note. First and foremost is the Dashpad-yep they're pricey but it makes or breaks an interior-that's just the way it goes-and it needs to have the correct plastic/metal trim package for the truck. Next are the door panels-better be nice-and if it's for power accessories, for big $$$ I expect NEW wiring-not junkyard/parts truck sources harnesses with several "fixes" all taped up either-why skimp on wiring with a 25K+ build? Then I look for the matching seat to door panel inserts....and this is where 95% of the high end trucks for sale try to get cheap.....as if the matching color alone is enough. Now, if somebody is building a truck for themselves that's one thing but to expect big $$$ I feel builders need to source the correct parts and build it as if a serious truck buyer who knows their **** is going to look at it.

Reading this, I would be curious, what your true thoughts of my interior. I was lucky and still have my original dash pad and it's not cracked. I would love to have OEM door panels, like the ones you offered up, but I can't justify the $ at the time. I would however, would like to see an actual photo of the door panels USA1 has in this kit. But my door inserts do match the seats, lol. I have learned so much as time went on. If I would have had more patience, I probably wouldn't have made a few of the choices I did when it came to my truck.
