I can't decide on which kit to get. Should I go CF or Alum. I want something that will still be considered "nice" in a few years.

brushed aluminum.

CF is a bit race-like. but. if u got like beige interior. looks better than aluminum.

but ur car is black on black.

give it some shine.

silver is classy. always.

thats why i got the silver n blue look in mine.

But. i do have CF with aluminum shift **** and pedals.

just ordered the aluminum gauge bezzel too.

silver boost /FP/A/F gauges to go with it.

i dunno..

im a fan of CF on the outside, but on the inside, not really cuz u have to hit it with light at the right angle for it to look nice.

 

personally with black/black I like c/f. Would be great if they were replacement pieces and not glue on.
Then again, I like my se because the door trim/handles are blacked out and not chrome.

Paint it!!

Paint it silver like mine. There are pics on my homepage. Anyone who's seen my car will tell you it looks better than a kit...

(MAC, Ryan93se, MaxiPad96, Mdeal, max88q, etc...speak up!)

 

I would have to say go with the brushed aluminum. It's more elegant than carbon fiber. The silver on black would look great. I wouldn't paint your dash, it saves a whole lot of money, but I just don't think it looks all that great.

 

I've had the CF dash kit since Christmas...I love it. I didn't want the shiney "look at me" dask kit that I feel the Alum on is. Like Cheston said, you have to catch the light just right to really even have the CF kit stand out. That is a good thing in my mind.

With Black on Black, I think its the only way to go!

 

Go brushed aluminum. It looks real clean and classy. Not to say that the CF dash doesn't, it's just not my stee....
