It was pretty easy to install. All the pieces together took about and hour and a half. The only tough one was the one by the cd player. It took two of us to keep checkign to make sure it was straight and applying it very slowly.

SimplySLB: It doesn't really look like a sticker because you may notice on your car that the spots are slightly recessed comparred to the rest so you can't see the edges too much. In the center console area it looks more like it on the edges if you look closely, but when you look at it as a whole, it looks pretty natural.

Form3Hide: The pieces bend easy before you put them on. I used the hair dryer to heat up the car where i was puttign it on, and also after I put the piece on just to warm up the adhesive and get it to stick better.

Bottlefed: It also came with pieces for the door, both by the handle and by the window switches. I did not put them on because I like the silver on the door and didn't want to just put one of the door pieces on. There was also piece to go over the shifter but I didn't put it on because it looked too much liek a sticker. I didn't have to remove the vents so I didn't pop them out. The kit cost $261 for the 2002 coupe. The 2001 is less because it has a couple less pieces for stuff that has changed on the 2002. I think the 2001 was $253 or something.

looks pretty good, some pics from farther out would give a better impression of what it looks like. How does it look with the rest of the interior?

I will take another pic tomorrow to go on my member's ride section that is a longer shot. The only colors I know of are blue, yellow, and red for the carbon fiber. The 2001's have blue/black, red/black, and yellow/black and the 2002's don't so that is nice for a little more subtle look i guess. I really think it looks nice in person and would recommend it to anyone. Form3Hide: I would install it if i were you, don't sell it!
