The Z on the nav cover may be a bit much but the rest looks pretty good. Is that stick on?

Yes, the dealer put it on for free.

Some people asked to see the kit, I happen to like it, it looks great in person.

I gots to say Vlad I've seen a couple of comments from you hating on peoples stuff, would like to say you should keep them to yourself, esp. for someone that likes to mod their cars. I too would like to get some carbon fiber / brushed alum. dash kit, but would rather get something that actually replaces it rather then sticks on. But I've seen some in person that are cool, and yours looks pretty sweet.

I wanted carbon fiber, but first off the z isnt doin it quite right. but of course, Id take it for free too. but that kit is like 300$ or near there, so I donno if youd agree, but I dont think its worth that.

I wanted a REAL carbon fiber that actually replaced the dash. and I asked hotspot tinting who is great, and works with dash trim as well, and they said no one makes such a thing for any car... I just sorta believed they knew what they were talking about.

If I like it I say I like it, if I don't - I say I don't. Nobody needs to be guessing what I think.

So when I see cheap fake brushed aluminum kit with some big design flaws - I laugh at it, and I don't try to hide my feelings. I don't hate, I just laugh.

As for your suggestion to keep my comments to myself, I'd suggest you to do exactly that, if you like. But I post my comments whenever I feel it necessary.

BTW, I'm loosing my hope some aftermarket companies will finaly get to the cabin. They all so busy with exterior. So I'm thinking about doing cf central console myself. I did some cf parts for aviamodelling when I was younger. It's really not that big of a deal. Good mold will require some efforts, but after that - it's all stupid simple.

But I won't sell to you, LA-Z, not for all money in the world!

I saw some company selling real cf trim replacement for BMWs, and that stuff was really cool. But I agree, you don't see it very often, not for cheap cars. Cheap cars owners usually more than happy with stick-on fake.

1. I don't give a **** what other peple think about my rims.

2. I think it's great that everybody here can say whatever they feel like saying, as far as they stay civilized

3. You did say that black rims looks like sh**, which is kind of trying to offence me... (but see #1), when I only stated that you've got fake brushed aluminum, which is true, and you can't argue that. So why be so hard?

Saying It is fake brush aluminum is true and OK, but the shot is takin with the " ". That with the fake comment is like me saying my comment to you. I don't think it is nice for you to laugh at something that I like, and really had no say in because it was installed on the car when I bought it. No hard feelings, but be aware that even things when you use smiley face icons you can still insult people.

I wouldn't havepaid for it myself, for a stick on kit it is overpriced. But since it was 100% free installed I figure it's not a bad deal.

And you always can replace dash with real aluminum when it'll came out!
