Default Finally, a CF Dash Kit with no dumb Z carved in it

Found it at http://www.edashkit.com/shop/ , ya have to do a little navigating from here. They offer two kits a basic kit and a full kit. I had this on a previous car with a black interior and it looked pretty good and the other thing is that it doesnt mar like the plastic interior parts do. Tell me what ya think, I may take the leap.

lemansz,

I ordered the full carbon fiber kit from them. I should receive it in 1-2 days. Took them about 2 weeks to get it to me, since I live in Hawaii . I'll post some pix once I put it on.

Ok, here are the edashkit in carbon fiber.

Impression: The quality is good. The cut is ok. I had to trim some pieces to fit right. The Z dash is curved, so alot of heating had to be done to bend and mold the cutouts to fit it nicely.

Overall, I think the aluminum one is probably better looking than the carbon fiber.

Well, you be the judge. Here are the pix.

Ugggghh!, Charlie Brown.

I thought my Z's interior was too plain, but now I'll be leaving it stock. Thanks for posting the pics, I almost ordered that kit. I'm not saying it looks bad. Just not my cup of tea.

Looks quite good. It gives the illusion of being velvet.

yeah, I personally wouldn't go with this look either. To me it makes it look like someone slapped together some stickers on your interior. This is just me though, ultimately, if you like it, then you should go for it.

W/o the radio faceplate, that kit does not look complete. Looks like they sent you the piece for the touring radio, and not the non-bose.... did they mess up or did you?

Hehehe, actually, I decided not to put the faceplate on for now. I am still debating about it.
