Default Blackwood kit I bought on ebay

Hello,
I just bought and recieved a Blackwood kit from ebay. It was only $59.00 so I wanted to share some pictures. I already have the real JDM blackwood for the doors and center console. I am not sure how well this color will match or the fit is. I will only be installing a few pieces if it looks ok.






I noticed alot of other sellers who have a very simlar item are asking alot more.

I'm always weary of very cheap parts on ebay. Post some pics after you're done and if you're in the Chicago area, we'll be having a meet soon so we can see how it looks up close & in person. Good luck!
