Let me know what you guys think...

its only like 50 bucks for the dash kit and another 10-15 for shipping...

i emailed the guy, and if you guys are interested, we can all get a group disocunt if interested...

Thanks, WickedBimmer

my intrest is slightly piqued. Since it only costs a stamp I'll order the samples. Im am very wary of aftermarket trim kits, and most look terrible. Thickness is the main reason. Also, how are these cut? Are they laser cut? Fit is also very important. From the sample pictures, the materal looks to be quite thick. In this game, over 3mm is way too thick.

also, would there be choices, or would we all have to agree on one trim?

[El Presidente]

also checked his feedback. Looks like he's not got the best service and many said they look rather cheap.

Hey, i just spoke to the representative, and hes sending me a bunch of samples as well....
he said we can all order diff materials etc, and def get group discounts...
b/c i told him i was part of a car club and he jumped on that!

also he told me that its teh same kits that are 150 and up...

ill def ask him about the thickness and get back to you...

hey, i just asked the guy who bought that last one what it looked like and what quality it was. i'll post it back when i get it. but if it's good, i'm in.

I have thought about getting one for my green car as well - not adding all of the parts but a few like center console.. however.. they do not sell the shift knob and the e-brake handle.. so how do you make sure they all match...

If I could find someone to sell me all of it and they match I would buy.. (all the wood matching that is)

[El Presidente]

I just scored a cobra-style wood and metal knob on ebay for 0.99. I hope it's quality and not pure junk. My current chrome one is starting to fade though and needs replacement.

Has anyone ever seen a real wood or aluminum trim kit? I've been looking for such a thing for a while now but so far haven't found anything. Are stickers the only option?
