Dash trim kit.

I'm looking at this Carbon Fiber Dash Trim Kit on Ebay, its made by R vinyl performance graphics. I was just wondering if anybody knows if this is a decent product of how easy it is to apply, and whether or not its worth it?

I got a (fake) bruhsed aluminum one of ebay that I am happy with. The only thing I would warn you about is installing it near the cupholders (with the 03s+). The peices were so large that now my cupholders wont close, no regrets, but I would have rather just removed everything and painted them.

Go with the aluminum, doesn't have to match anything else in the car...like if you have a cf hood

Nah, its the oem plastic one. I like it alot, I mean sure its not real, but I didn't pay for it. It's the top 3 pieces, and I have it all on my center console also. Yes, its held on by tape, but its not a "sticker" in the paper sense =)
