I finally got it installed today. Some of it looks tacky if you look at it long enough. But not as tacky as the acres of black plastic it is partially covering.
Took me about an hour I think. I removed the vents, radio and hvac just make aligning those easier. That was probably a waste, as I still had to trim around the volume knobs. But as long as I had the radio off, I sprayed the buttons like someone else here did (last picture). Came out pretty good.
All in all I like it. The V logos on the door panels I got off ebay, actually they were meant to be headrest logos.
And if you do this, get some chemical called carbo-sol to clean the door panels. The large pieces did not want to stick for some reason, even with the adhesive promoter they provide. |

looks great IMO, and i like that v logo on the door.
i think you should of put the steering wheel piece on just so it matches. |

I want to do this also, maybe the same one you used though, not sure.
I dont picture it taking me an hour, I think you are above average on ability. Just a guess. |

What's with the Wal-Mart Automotive steering wheel wrap?
The kit looks good in pics, I'd still like to see one in person... I had thought about the CF kit, but I'm a little paranoid that it would "cheapen" the already plastic interior... |

Tony you should have used this pass pic! And the dish kit is not bad. But the wheel cover looks like something from my grandmothers AMC Spirit. |
