Came across this site.. Had a range of different dash coverings to rice up your 'line. Looks to a bit cheaper than the full replacement dashes I've seen (which to me look pretty crap imo).

Brushed aluminium could be sweet.

Anybody tried any of these and know what the quality is like?

Some other ok stuff on there as well.

yeah, probably! it still would probably be cheap looking :D Just looking at the motorshow last night, most of the cars are dressed up with silver touches and the like, and none of it looks that classy - just looks like you could do the same job with a $5 spray can!

Unless you pay over like 100k for car these days you get like cheap looking dash if you ask me. They all look the same, but I forgive the 350zx one :)

Anybody can spray the plastic parts once you learn the basics and come up with a professional job I think. Can do it for $30 or so yourself. Mines got a few scratches and things so i'm considering it.

I've done other plastics with the spray cans to good effect (pc, xbox, etc). Its really not that hard.. Still a proper plastic finish could be better depending on the quality - still $600 or so !

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
