Is that a Joshua Tree? I was thinking about swapping my real aluminum kit for a molded synthetic kit with more pieces.

Looks good bro...

As long as it fits perfectly then that's a great deal. I was skeptical about e-bay kits for that reason.

The kit really does look sweet, but it seems a little off, is your interior black or is it grey?

Hey i just nailed it when i looked at the pics again...it's the sun, it sort of washed out the black on the dashboard which had it looking grayer than it really is. I thought it was odd that everything else looked spot on. Sweet @$$ setup, especially for only $150!

I am a fan of the marble look, but not the gaps and whatnot where you can see the stock dash next to it..

vendor: wehavegoods aka AutoAccessoriesStore?

I think I ordered from the same vendor you did (but for a 30 piece brushed Al kit)... Unfortunately the auction says it comes with both manual and stick trim pieces but the dude only includes the auto (intentionally it would seem)! Then he says I can get the manual if I send back the auto. Complete scum! I complained to him and paypal and he finally says he'll send the missing piece... Hopefully he does.

Wow...

That looks really nice! The molded kits always do though, too bad there aren't any for 4th Gens. The finish looks very nice on your charcoal interior, but a word from the wise: take the pics in the shade and you will get 10x more compliments.

looks good, but like everyone else has said a little out of place...i think it clashes a little with the rest of the interior

dam, that's different and hot but i think it applies to a more neutral or luxurious look.

for sportyness, nothing beats the aluminum but dam, you caught that...i'm feeling it.

I am basically talking about the synthetic kits that have the rounded edges. My edges are very sharp. Also since mine is real metal, it is much thinnner. I like how the synthetic sort of "raises" the dash.

I have never been a fan of flat dash kits. They remind me of Sticker Fun. I might look into the marble dash in a molded kit. I'm not a huge fan of wood or super shiny aluminum. Looks good!

One more thought...

looks exactly like the stock dash and console that the Acura TL's come with.

I thought nobody would notice. When I was buying Max I was also looking at TLs. I really like it in TLs and that's why I did it to max

I think the aluminum dash kits look best on black interior. your black marble isn't too bad, but does look a little awkward. i guess you just have to get used to it

Not my cup of tea.

Looks kind of 70's pimp, not sporty maxima.
