Anybody installed these dash kits?

Wanted to order these but didn't know if they were gonna fit flush or if the double side tape is gonna make the whole kit seem lifted off the orignal trim etc etc...any feedback/advice?

If you heat it up to the right temp. it wil bend easilly and will be easier to intall... the only annoying part is that u have to hold it in plave until the glue really sticks on... or else it will look lifted off and might start coming off... But this is the CF not alluminum... hopefully its the same...i bought mine from CE i dont trusrt no ebay dash kits

it's because I accidentally sprayed some cologne on my centre cosole and the cheap aluminum paint came off and looks **** now...and the replacement piece costs $100

617-do the pieces really wrap around the original...looks factory?

Got mine off ebay for 90 bucks. Excellent quality. I'm just waiting for it to warm up outside till i put it on. Since i don't have a garage to work in.

ok..got it..but some of the pieces..like the part around the shifter are 3D...meaning they fold around the centre console...my question is, do the trim kits also wrap around like the factory trim?

sorry for the confusio

Its a 32 piece brushed aluminum. Basically i'm just going to replace the center console, vents, door handle area, and window areas. Probably won't use the whole kit. Tho i wish there were some pieces that came with it, but i'll live.
