What if oyu wanted certain parts seperate "colors". I want the center console all the way down to the piece that wraps around the shifter brushed aluminum. Then the pieces (i think 2) that are from after the shifter, as in the hazard light button and ash tray and center storage compartment carbon fiber. BUT... The 3 guages on the top i want the underlays and overlays a certain green. Also on the doors I want brushed aluminum on the window panels. Above that on the black curved part where the door handle is, I want the same green. ANybody follow that? lol suggestions? tips?

Once again I would suggest Suite E GrafX. They can definately do the Carbon Fiber Center Console as well as the painted gauges and door handle. I don't recall seeing them do brushed aluminum though. You may have to have that done elsewhere.

Personally I think those stick on dash kits look cheesy. They look like an afterthought. I say paint your dash.

Had the brushed alu kit, the look tends to be cheesy

Removed the kit & went w/ a painted & EVO-R CF combination.

the only nice stick on kits are from http://superiordash.com/

but their prices are fairly steep, so I went with painting mine also, for less money. ($300ish, I did the sanding, bodyshop did the painting, House of Kolor candy, and I provided the paint)
