The only MOLDED kits are made from fake materials. A FAKE carbon fiber kit is horrible, molded or not, stay away from it. Insist on REAL materials, be it wood, aluminum or Carbon Fiber. Just check out my car and you will be convinced.

fake alum dash kit

What is synthetic Alum anyway? Is it metal?

Maximized: your kit looks great, did you cut the pieces yourself?

Synthetic kits are made from a vinyl film of the material, so the fake wood is really a vinyl wood sticker under the epoxy, fake aluminum is a shiny vinyl, fake CF is a CF look sticker. Usually, pretty cheezy looking in MOST cases, but different strokes for different folks.

Thank you for the compliment. Check out my webpage for some more pictures. My kit was purchased that way, I'm not that talented to cut that out myself, nor do I have the billion dollar (ok maybe not a billion dollar) laser cutting machine in my basement. It is a kit made by B&I, which is sold through several wood trim places on the net. You need to make sure of the exact pieces included in the kit you want and to get actual samples sent to you before you buy anything. If they wont send the sample, don't deal with them. For the 2000+, if you have a 5 speed, make sure the kit has the 5 speed shifter surround. The B&I kits DO NOT, and I had to have my shifter surround custom made by the guy at http://www.wood-dash.com.

I'll be happy to answer any more questions anyone has.
