My first quality dash kit from dashkitspecialties.com! It's flat (not molded) but has a thick clear soft edged plastic layer on top of the real Silver wire Carbon fiber patterned material. lts easily far better quality than the stuff I got from cough*rvinyl*cough way back when. Reflecting on this install it would've been best for me to have re-painted/ or pre-wrapped the original pieces with a flat vinyl silver carbon style wrap. Yes that might'even redundant but I think it would've made for the best/KLEEENest look possible when applying the dash pieces. I went with Silver Wire Carbon Fiber to keep with the silver that was already in the interior, but I think the black would've looked even better. One plus about getting the 'REAL' material is that if you mess up. You can peel away the existing 3M double sided tape, clean it up, and re-prep the material with a new double sided backing material like some heavy duty Gorilla tape. (I had to re-do some panels a couple times)
Either way its a learning process. Live, learn, have fun!
