"True" Titanium Edition Interior installed today on 2K3 SE

Well, as some may have noticed I was asking questions on how to install custom aluminum gauge bezel and dash kit. So I successfully installed them today as well as the aluminum floor mats. Fairly easy job except for fighting with the bezel cover upon removal and reinstall...took about 2hrs for everything. Sorry about the pics being a lil dark but I'll take more pics tomorrow in daylight. LMK what you guys think. I like the way it compliments my already stock titanium edition stuff. However I don't know if I like the way the seats look with it. I remember seeing before something about custom leather seats for around $1000. If anyone has pics or info let me know cuz I'm now interested.
Enjoy!

my opinion -
i think the area on the radio and climate control is a little to much. and it doesnt look very smooth because of all the holes for the buttons. it almost looks like silver contact paper stuck on.
and i think anything diamond plated belongs on a jeep or truck.
i do like the piece around the clock and steering wheel controls. VERY nice touch

Yeah, well seeing as with the "titanium" package made the wheels polished and the door sills chrome why not add more "titanium" to it. But yes its true aluminum...sorry the "true titanium" thing is kinda an inside joke.

What dash kit is that? I haven't seen one before that was only one piece around the shifter and ashtray. I like what you have done, but IMO the floor mats are too much.

Gotta agree - I'd remove the section on the climate control and stereo. A bit much. Otherwise, good work.

I got it from custommaxima.com. Brushed aluminum kit I think they called it.

Yeah, thats what I'll probably end up doing tomorrow....especially with all my driving I wouldn't be suprised if there are a bunch of pieces thrown out and left all over central pa tomorrow. And everytime I look at that stereo and climate control it becomes more of an eyesore. I really like the gauge bezel though. I'll have to take a decent pic of it tomorrow.

This discussion has been brought up before.

Molded kits usually look like colored plastic while Flat kits appear to be much higher quality and use real materials.

higher quality? its a piece of metal. i can get a peice of sheet metal from home depot and stick it on. the flat kits dont wrap around so you see the stock pieces. its a piece of metal stuck on.
the molded kits looks more stock, look at the pic above of the door piece. looks stock.
