Florida dash trims make it too i think. Check group buy Center. That stuff isn't cheap though and you know it is just stickers right?

there's a guy on ebay that sent my dash kit from Canada. Quick shipping, great price, excellent quality. check out the pics on MY RIDE section. CIVIC is in the right hand corner, i think most dash trims dont have that, some like it, some dont.

Hey guys and gals,

After seing this thread I IMMEDIATELY had to reply and tell you that I have a NICE dash kit in my car and before I installed it, I had ordered SEVERAL from different manufacturers including the guy from canada because I wanted to see this fit first. All I can say is DO NOT order the ne from the guy in canada. It is cut like $hit and the pieces are too small. I returned it immediately. Don't be fooled by someplace telling you that they have the latest equipment and everything is laser cut for accuracy. Doesn't mean anything. It's the guy who takes the template from the car and actually puts that info into the computer that makes the cuts. Id he sucks...well then youget a shitty product because thery do not test fit them after they are cut.


If you want a NICE kit for about $ 200 U.S, order from www.exoticwooddash.com and they will send you the nicest one out there that actually fits perfect. I did all the research so you don;t have to ! I can take a few pics of my interior with my digicam to show you how it came out. They give you SO MANY pieces too for the price. They are based out of Arizona but ship from their distributer in New York.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Greg

Yes, I agree, this is one of best dash kits out there. Even though it's a tad thicker than most, its the most metal/aluminum looking of the bunch. The only part that didn't fit perfect on my 2001 was the window roll up part (too short).

Not sure about custom colors, but they do have True CF, black/blue CF, red CF, yellow/black CF, yellow CF, decor CF, and blue CF I believe. Just check they're (exoticwooddash.com) site out. They also do custom coating or custom painting of interior pieces (pricey though).

I take that back, they only have a set amount of colors to choose from (kits or painted pieces), look at their site for colors.

i just saw the siter, my question is does the heat affect these kits, i know some of the OEM kits have a tendency to peel apart due to heat.

Yes, heat will always affect these kits to some small extent, especially on the more curved pieces. But as long as you place enough promoter or have a good seal (i.e., no gaps and perfect alignment) you should have no problems. I live in 110 plus degree heat and only one piece is kinda coming off, but not noticeable at all. I will be applying some 3M goop to remedy it though. Also keep in mind that when applying these kits that the promoter will mess up your interior pieces paint, so this is somewhat of a permanent risk. Also my kit has been on for more than 2 years. Keep in mind that any peeling will occur within a month, so after that everything else should stay on and never peel. Again, mine has been on for 2 years and nothing has peeled except for a slight peel in my center console (very unnoticeable).

i got my kit from alkaplus, had it for about 7 months no problem. they must use the same template as the one at the top because the lower cutout for the **** is a hair big, not too bad though. paid $115 for it

Green Civic, sorry no pics except for what I have in my gallery.

01WingsWestCivic, really?! My exoticwooddash kit for the lower **** was a perfect fit. The only thing that didn't fit was the power window control area (too short).

Easy, just make sure you don't get the cleaning and adhesive agent they supply on anything extra it leaves a residue behind and is visible in the sun (acetone will remove it).
