floor mats I purchased from wadd3456. Aluminum with Z cut into them. I put orange material under the Z to match the orange stitching in the seat. I like it.

def love the dash kit, few questions!

1 can you please post a few more pics from a little more distance to show the entire console? did it wrap around the 3 gauges? does it extend on the sides?

2 what is the material made out of, steel, titanium, aluminum, ect ect

3 how long did it take to install

4 how many pieces was it when you bought it

5 how much was it

6 where did you buy it


PS- Wadd's floor mats are awsome as hell, great guy too, anyone wanting to place an order, hit him up, Wadd3456 on my350 as well as AOL/AOL Instant Messenger he's a great guy with great Z stuff.. also has other Z stuff made just to let you guys know

The dash kit is synthetic "brushed aluminum" stick ons. It won't get all scratched up.
It's 12 pieces.
I payed 300.00 installed. (A little expensive, but I really wanted it)
I'm not sure who the manufacturer is, I went to a local business(one that does most of the dealerships) to get it. They had them in stock and put it on.
It's not perfect, but I like it much better than the original all black look.

Here's the door piece.
One more note about these kits. Once you put them on, if you don't like it you're kind of stuck with it. The adhesive discolors the black vinyl. If you pull off the kit, you can tell where the pieces were.

That looks like the kit you can get at edashkit.com. I'm not positive though. I was actually thinking of getting it but am not sure. I did however write them to see if I could get a sample. They wrote back and said they could even make it with a little less coating on it so it will not be as glossy. I think the kit runs around $200.00. Btw, I like it nice pictures.

Just out of curiousity, how close is the color of the kit to the rest of the silver in the car. It is kind of hard to tell with the pieces being so shiny. Also does it have the "brushed" look to it or does it look smooth underneath?

The kit is a little darker than than real aluminum. It looks fine though. It has a brushed appearance.

I just got my wheels on today 4/28, and it rained on me while I was doing it, so needless to say, the car needs to be washed. Maybe I'll wash it tomorrow and take some pics of the new wheels and more pics of the dash kit.
As far as the mats are concerned, there are more pics of them at http://www.extremespeedonline.com

Am I the only one that thinks it looks kinda bad? I dont like the cover door in graphite with the aluminum around it at all. As far as stick ons go... give it another few months before it starts peeling off in the hot sun.
