Yup

http://alkaplus.com/

They are located in New York

They have them on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2419070583 for 150$ but i dont know if you would get the darker or silver cf.

My mom called them, and she spent 120$ on it for 1 of my graduation presents.... (Im still waiting for the rest of them, tonight )

the only bad part that i see is, if i was to get a head unit, i have to see if i can find one the same size as the stock one, bigger, so that the dash will look good ya know?

Can u guys gimme some good info on which hu i should get?

I want to stay under the 200$ range, also i would like it to be easy to install because i wanna install it myself, i dont want to pay around 100$ to get it installed

I'm sorry man but the kit sucks. The material they use looks cheap. The parts come off easily and the pieces don't fit perfectly. I bought mine from the same company but got rid of it in two months. Waste of money. Only go for oem for dash kits. The only thing good about alkaplus is their refund policy.

1st - Material looks amazing, already got tons of complaments.... It also feels sooo smooth

2nd - Clean everything 100%, no dust, no oil... The parts are held on sOoO tight!!! because i Glued them down, and because of the M3 Tape... I used a different glue rather than the one that comes in the package.

3rd - Yes they do have a good refund policy

1st-Material is cheap. Right now you are blinded by the fact that you just put the kit on and that you spent a good deal of money for the kit. I loved the kit in the beginning too. I got many compliments. However, you have to realize that the compliments are from people who have only seen it once or twice in your car. I even defended my kit in this forum from people who warned me about it as I am doing now. After one month of seeing it everyday, you see how the kit doesn't fit like oem, and how cheap the material really is. If you look at one of your pictures by the interior door handle, you can see how uneven it is. One part of trim piece is glued down more than the rest of the trim piece. This is not your fault because the material is very soft and again cheap. The trim pieces feel like rubber and the trim kit as a whole has that rubbery look. If you look at the trim pieces at different angles you will see how uneven it is, how it doesn't fit perfect, and how much it sticks out.

2nd-Why in the world would you glue your pieces down? You are just ruining the interior. When I took my kit off it still left some marks which took me a while to get rid of. Glue is like 100x worse.

3rd-Why do they have a good refund policy. It's because they make so much profit off each trim kit they sell. They can afford to refund money because they already made tons of money off the kits they sold. They lose nothing because they will just sell the returned kit to the next sucker that orders it.

The company has a lot of positive feedbacks on ebay. However, some people leave positives for their return policy. They write "cheap material but refunded" so they leave a positive feedback. Combine this with 72 neutrals and 72 negatives. Hmmmmm.....and what are all the compliants about? Cheap material, doesn't fit like oem, etc. Maybe you can live with the kit but I definitely could not fool myself. If the other members want to try it out go order it. But just don't take off the back covering because then you can't return it.
