Best Dash Kit????

I'm looking into buying a dash kit for my 2002 Dark Blue Maxima. My interior is Frost Leather. Does anyone have any photos of their dash kit with Frost interior so I can decide which one looks the best. I am leaning toward the Real Brushed Aluminum, has anyone installed the one that Custom Maxima sells? I've read that since it is real aluminum it is not as easy to bend an conform to the dash which could cause problems. Has anyone purchased the ones sold on Ebay? Please provide your advice and or photos of the best dash kit for the best price.

Flat kit looks horrible. Make sure you spend extra and get a molded kit

definitely go with the molded kit...I have the flat pieces now and it looks cheap. I just received my molded kit in the mail today and will be installed once the rain stops. I'll post the comparsion pictures of flat vs. molded if anyone is interested.

I would also like to see the molded kit on the frost leather. Which brand are we talking about? The kits that Custom Maxima sells or the Ebay ones?

i have a molded kit with frost leather interior...I will post some pics maybe tomorrow if i get a chance...dont buy the ebay ones or custommaxima ones, they are flat kits and look cheap. A molded kit is only like 9 pieces and will run you over 300 but its worth it.

o woah, the fitment is incredibly terrible on the molded kit, the center console is ***'ed up. the flat pieces are way better cut than that. I might have to remove it and get a flat replacement for the center console. My old flat stick on fits better, I regret removing it. evrything else is good but that.
