Well it's between wood or carbon fiber. Thanx for all of your opinions, but all I wanted to do is to see some pics in order to make up my mind.

Thanx a lot guys, for all of your replies. Anyhow few things to talk about. First thing that I knowticed on most 00-03 dash kits, the pieces for door handle seem to be a little small, they don't cover the entier plastic. Also I make up my mind and going to order 41+ piece from www.woodtrim.com , also I'll probably have them cut out some custom pieces as well.

The CF dash kits make the dash look to busy and crowded. I would go for brushed aluminum.

I was looking into some of these dash kits. But I'm not sure which places sell good quality kits. I dont want it to look cheap. Can you tell me where you got it from and how it turned out? and has anybody bought any off ebay?
I wanna get a chrome or brushed aluminum.
thanks

Whether it's in or it's the fad of the day, those stick-ons make the car look cheap. For me, I'll either change the pannel it self or leave it as it is. Stck-on kits are cheap looking no matter how I look at it.

I'd much rather my kit than the stock look even if it is a stick on. And I only paid a $100 for everything. I get compliments all the time on my interior. If you like stock interior then stick to it.

WTF... If you get enought pieces and istall it right, there is no way it's gonna look cheap. When ever you but a dash kit, you need to make sure that all of the pieces fit right. Contact the seller, and confer that. I've bought 2 dash kits from www.alkaplus.com in NY for my 98, I bought one in Curbon Fiber, and then a year later switched to Wood. Those guys make good quality product, it's not modled or anything, but all of the pieces fitted like they've suposed to. Anyhow, I call them today and asked them if they would make addition pieces for the dash kit which they sell for 00-03, they said no problem since their kit only comes with 34 pieces compair to Joshua kit which is 41 pieces. They are my kind of people and they will take care of their customers. All of you who say that dash kits make car look cheap can go f*ck themself, no joke.
