I saw those on a car. I think they look really nice and really make your interior. The only thing is, I've heard that after long hot summers, they start to peel and you either have to go and glue it again.. like super glue or chuck them. Personally, I would paint the dash peices just because it lasts much longer.
But if you dont mind alittle superglue, do for it

NOOOO dont buy that kit!!! it sucks!!! i bought the same exact one off ebay like a week ago. i returned it within 2 hours. they sent me a kit for a sedan, instead of a 5spd, like i specified. Also, many of the peices had small little manufacturing defects, rough edges, wavy aluminum look, etc. Theres a pretty thick layer of clear rubber over the flexible "aluminum" (i dont think it is aluminum) that potrudes and looks gaudy. This is definetely a deal that really is too good to be true, you get what u pay for here. The actual tape on back is nice though. the entire back side of all the peices is 3m adhesive, there arent just peices of tape scattered. im still waiting for a refund.
