questions about edash kits
how's the quality on these carbon fiber kits? how are the fit? are the edges rounded out to fit all the way over the pieces? or are they flat? i don't want flat kit so you can still see silver or black where the carbon fiber doesn't cover.

I have had mine for a few months now and here is my list of gripes:
I think that the pieces could have covored a little bit more or the door handle, shifter and window switch areas
almost imediatly the corners of the piece that covers the ashtray came up and straightend out (and yes the adheasive was properly installed)
just a few days ago the long piece that goes on the drivers side door panel started coming up...I did put it back down again and it has not come up again.
other than that, they are good, thick and not of cheap quality with smooth rounded edges.

That alphadash.com site was great, but the pictures didnt do any justice
i've got the stock cf kit in my box (dealer installed)
do any of the dash kits match that? Shoot, i'd pay the full 169 and just use the smaller parts (being that i've got the main dash kit already)

I really don't like the kit that is posted above. I don't like that it looks like just a sticker stuck on the top and doesn't cover the whole piece. I really like what some peole are doing with paint on the interior of their xBs. I am planing on wrapping mine in real carbon fiber and a few coats of clear on top. I've made CF parts from molds before, bit I think that it'll turn out.

I was the first orange edashkit CF guy, I had in before I had my xB in like January, it went on nicely, but like Lava scion said I wish it would have covered more. The CF looks nicely and the clear coat is nice and thick but it can scratch easily.
