aluminum dash trim....

I just purchased this for my 2 door coupe. Was wondering if anyone had any pics? Mines the brushed aluminum. How was the install, how hard was it to get the pieces perfectly lined up? Are you happy with the quality and fit?

i bought that aluminum kit off of ebay.
it took about 30 minutes to put the whole thing on.
i am very please everything fit really well.
the only hard piece i had putting on was the piece that goes around the guages behind the steering wheel.
but it was really easy, otherwise.

the oem kit isnt all that great tho. i have the carbon fiber one and it fits well, but the 3M tape they put on the back doesnt hold all that well. i cleaned the dash with alcohol first and applied it on a 70 degree day. there are other kits as well that are a little more expensive but have like 8 or 9 more peices. my dad's got the silver one on his civic and his stuck fine and now it just recently started coming off a little bit. wouldnt recomend the oem one.
