Default EDash Kit Arrived and Installed

Pics will be up tonight.

Had no problems with installation, took an hour and 15 with installation and heat gun.

It's 56 degrees here.

Looks really, really nice. People who bash these should see them first hand pictures do it no justice. Really glad I did this mod.

I'll have pics up tonight as soon as the rain lets up.

Whoa, sorry. Been a raining exam cramming day.

First here are my thoughts:

Received it today, and installed it. I read that some people had problems with fitting, ect. I had none, each peice went on seemlessly no trouble at all. It's an odd material it's like the brushed aluminum covered by a layer of soft clear coating. Really makes it feel smooth and really easy to clean. Also, makes the car feel better to be in. No more hitting your hazards or heated seats with this material. However tall is raises it makes it so you cannot hit these buttons my accident anymore. Great Stuff.

As I stated earlier total install time was one hour and 15 min. and that is uncluding heat gun. I can't wait for the heat to really bake it in there.

I've gotten tons of compliments and alot of people want one for their Z. G35C pal of mine really liked it was well.

Here are the pics, excuse all the pollen

Here are the pics thanks to VQracer :

Nice.
It would be really nice if these were replacement panels instead of overlays.
I wonder if they could do that, and/or if they could just make the center console and armrest area, as the air-vents and rear-pocket aluminum seems tacky and way overdone IMO.
Glad you enjoy it, have fun!

Looks good, homie. I think the parts I'm not as sure about are the pieces over the A/C vents and the cupholder. I'd keep them stock and let the center console standout by itself... but really nice work!

It's orange...just a different shade. Looks more like burnt orange instead of the golden orange that the LeMans Sunset looks like.

Well if you are looking for replacement pieces in carbon fiber. I bought my kit from www.elegantwooddesign.com look at the pictures. It's expensive but looks completely stock. Everyone who sees it really likes.

Hi, I have a question with your dash kits. Is it brushed aluminium? Cause I see that the dash kits and the brushed aluminium on the streeringwheel is the same. I can tell that it doesn't match? Or is it because of the reflection from the camera? Let me know okay, cause I am really interesting on buying one. Thanks.
