It is marble I think it is hot. My car is black on black leather or would you prefer carbon fiber, wood, aluminium or chrome kit thank you?

That's not my car, it's way to dirty.
Thats the material I have, but it's not the same cut.
Look at the piece just below the center vent and around the defrost and hazard buttons. On my kit, it's one piece. On the ebay kit, it's two sections. I don't know why some companys make that two sections when the dash is only one section. That makes to many cuts, seams in the kit. Try to find a company that makes that upper piece as one solid unit. Most companys have the template you can download to see the components.

Here's my kit, see how clean the install looks with just one section on top

i think dash kits look cheesy as well. the only one's i have liked have been painted a solid color to match the interior.

Hmm say the entire center: radio trim, shifter trim, hazard switches, the door handles, and the area around the switches. Possibly gauge bezel too.

njmaxseltd where'd you get your kit?

It also looks like your kit covers the the top vent completly where mine just covers the top and sides but not the bottom.

I don't remember the name of the company. It was a company that I found up on the web. I looked at the templates before I baught, wanted the pieces cut exactly how the dash is cut. Search around, you should be able to find them.
