Default Whatcha think of my "new" dashboard???

I just slapped on this dash kit, and I'm trying to decide if I like it or not.
Opinions?

Look closer - it's also around air vents, odometer/idiot lights (next to speedometer), radio surround, between recirculation switch and A/C button, and between cupholders.

And I guess I didn't think of it as "bling" at the time - its just brushed aluminum...
Now that it's in, it just looks cheap to me.

it looks nice near the trac button but around the radio looks tacky. the ac bezels and idiot lights pieces don't look bad.

I thought long and hard about doing the metal thing myself, then decided to go with a royal blue paint on all the silver in the dash of my '04, and the door handles and stuff, but a heads up I don't know if you know or not but you can flip the plastic piece that holds your shift boot and go from pie slices to a chrome plastic, that is what is in the boot, just take the top cap out of the boot, it has a spring clip and flip and reclip, thought you might be interested it will better match the brushed aluminum I think.

From what I'm seeing, I like it, except for the bit around the mirror / dimmer / trac control. More pics would be good.

More pics please! The HVAC area looks interesting... Very nice and clean look.

I was never into the carbon fiber stuff - plus, the look is too thick for me.
