need you guys opnion on dash color... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ProStreet83C10 · 07-04-2011, 12:27 AM

ok guys, so im really in the air with what color dash to get for my truck. the one in it now is cracked and missing speaker pieces etc. Im between a tan/saddle color or black. Ill upload some pics of my interior and maybe you guys can help me dice which way to go.

So as you see, i have obviously for now a black instrument cluster bezel, tan seats, carpet, door handles and a black "highliner" headliner. What color dash do you guys think i should get, i originally thought tan, but then i was wondering if black wouldnt be maybe a better choice. I hate decisions like this. Let me know what you guys think.

u already have a black headliner so get a black dash to match.
How do you like that radio headliner set up.

ProStreet83C10 · 07-04-2011, 12:41 AM

i love the radio headliner, even with radio turned up to level 15ish (70 mph with windows open on freeway) it still sounds pretty clear and crisp, and these are NOT expensive speakers, (think kraco)

any more opinions guys?

I think black would look right

ProStreet83C10 · 07-05-2011, 06:25 PM

so you guys think black would still look ok even with the tan door panels butting up against dash sides?

J Knight · 07-05-2011, 06:36 PM

Black matches everything.

ProStreet83C10 · 09-03-2011, 11:10 AM

ok now, befre i go ordering this dash, should a get the full $300 dash replacement or is there a better options out there that im not aware of?

lilpoindexter · 09-03-2011, 12:33 PM

Tan to match the seats and door panels

Rogue_Alphonse · 09-03-2011, 01:03 PM

Definately black or tan. Or go with khaki

Don't know about dash color, but I sure do like the view out of Rogue's windshield.

camshaftgsxr · 09-03-2011, 05:01 PM

black matches everything and will look good with the red

motornut · 09-06-2011, 11:46 AM

i'd go black...looks clean

**old Rusty C10** · 09-06-2011, 12:29 PM

im thinking either will work but black will prolly work out better as it will stay cleaner.. they have dash overlays that will prolly be ok too

Yeah, just got mine from LMC last week...going to wait for a while to put it in though...yeah the speakers are not expensive.....just going to replace with better ones.

On your dash, definitely go with black. Everything would look good black and since your already almost to everything, just get it black

J Knight · 09-06-2011, 06:38 PM

Go all black

ProStreet83C10 · 09-06-2011, 07:35 PM

ok, so should i spend the cash for a 300 full dash replacement or get one of those cheap covers

mooseknuckles · 09-06-2011, 07:39 PM

black...and the real deal.
