it's hard to get good pictures of carbon fiber because of the reflections it makes, but I think it looks really nice in person

crappy lighting in most of those pics, but they show the cf best

got that kit from www.woodtrim.com and the bezel from ebay

All I can say is if you are getting a CF dash kit or any dask kit you get what you pay for. My advice is to get the brand that Craig has. Its from woodtrim.com and is super quality. I got a cheap kit once because their sample looked good. The fitment was not up to my standards and the CF weave was sloppy and loose. I have seen Craigs in person and would not hesitate in buying the woodtrim.com kit.

since I was so disapointed in the kit I got I just sanded mine smooth and painted it.

I sold the kit and got almost what I paid for it. That guy was happy with it but I am too much of a perfectionist and didnt like it.

I am not too hip on dash kits, I like the black dash in good shape, looks clean.

Craig that auto climate control makes the 3rd gen dash come alive.

nope, check out www.woodtrim.com for the drawing of what pieces it comes with

they used to sell the door switch panels separately but I never bought them and not sure if they still sell them or not

I like that look. That's real nice.
....I know this is kind of off topic, but I have been trying to email/pm you with some questions about wiring and have been unable to get through to you. Anyway I can contact you to ask some questions on somethings?

Sorry Tin for the quick hijack

no one else seems to have any brushed aluminum kits so I figured I would post my pics.

got it off ebay about 2 years ago for about $140...all of it fit great except for the piece that went over the glove box.it was a 23 piece kit IIRC.

here's a decent shot of mine... this is the REAL ALUMINUM kit from Joshua Tree (woodtrim.com). it's not the fugly resin covered crap.

several pieces I had to make myself tho, like the shifter and gauge bezel. there were some others in the kit, but they were on my GXE and were destroyed trying to remove them to swap it.
