My opinion, it looks too orangey. Maybe it's the pics, but it doesn't really blend in too well. The kit seems too bright. Maybe if you had the tan/blonde interior.

WOW!! I never thought a flat kit could look so good. I especially like the inserts on the doors, real nice. I think the orangeish look is from the camera. I think the wood offsets the black very nicely. I think I might have to get the CF now.

I think the kit looks extremely classy....

especially those extra 20 pieces that didn't come with my own kit..... I like the fact that you definately got your money's worth!!

very very nice

Nice...that's the color wood I like. Either reddish or blond colored. Only problem I have is that there are so many pieces...sorta overkill for me. But still looks classy

looks pretty goood,but.....

i like my molded kit . your kit looks good with your interior, but i could not go with a flat kit on my blond interior with the oem gray door/dash pieces that you cover with the kit. cuz you would see the gray on the edges.

the flat just doesn't do it justice, check my homepage (pg2) for my pics. look at the door instrument panel and the center console. you will see NO GRAY!!!! it covers the piece completly.

like i said though it works with your interior.
nice ride byw.

kjpierce,

i hear what your saying about the molded kit but the reasons i went with my flat kit is because:

1) It has alot more pieces
2) It uses "REAL" wood as opposed to plastic which molded kits use
3) I wouldnt have to take my dash apart to install it
4) And because of the color or my interior

To each his own but overall i like the flat kits better. What does everyone else think?

molded kit:
1) just enough pieces to accent the interior,not pepper it w/wood pieces
2)synthetic will last forever
3)your smokin' that wood if you think i had to take my dash apart to install it.

your right , "to each their own"

on the max org, if you ask, people will tell you. good or bad. just go to the thread on apc wing installed.

as long as your happy with it is what really counts. so have fun modding!!!!

no rattles at all. i have got nothing but positive feedback from friends at home and also here on the org. I simply love it. I was just concerned that it would take away from the sporty look but i feel i gives it a sporty look with a luxury edge....what do you all think?
