Dash kits and Dash face

I have a 2001 F-150 Extended Cab. I plan to get a dash kit, maybe wood. Stylinconcepts.com has them but they are stick-ons. Are there any that you can totally replace the dash? Not any that are stick-ons.

Also, I like to get a new dash face, a white one. The ones I've seen lights up as blue. I need one that is green to match all other interior lights.

Thanks.

Go look at Veneerz.com. I bought their kit for my 04 King Ranch F-350 Lariat. I had the Husky dash on my 2001 (which was good). I like this much better and the price is much better too!

Does anyone know where to find a carbon fiber overlay for the gauges? what about white face gauges that do not look blue at night?

Thanks

Speaking of white face gauges, the ones I've seen are blue at night. That wouldn't look right since all my interior lights are green. Are there white face gauges that are green at night? I wonder how the indigo light will look?

I had a company called Phoenix Image dip my stock pieces in carbon fiber. I did not like the stick-on kits. Here are some pics:





Look on their website and you will see some better pics of their work. It can be a bit pricey, but the quality is outstanding. They basically paint the pieces, so there is not any glue or anything...

The CF overlays are easily found on EBay. NR Auto makes regular white face gauges, reverse gauges, and indiglo gauges. Might want to check them out.

And Welcome to FTE!!!

i'm in the process of white face gauges myself. as far as the color goes, i believe you just need to purchase colored bulbs for the dash lights. you can get LED lights for 2 to 3 bucks a piece, or regular incandescent bulbs for as little as .99cents each on ebay.

I have a 90 f150 and my back light is green and I tried to put in red and than I tried blue and it still showes up green. The green is made into the cluster. I have been trying to find a new cluster digital or something else.
