Another word regarding the carson and the car-gym.com kits. I haven't see either one in person but one of the pictures on the l-tuned website appears to be identical to one on the car-gym site. Also carson isn't stocking their kit any more. They do not have any complete sets of the black and only 1 or 2 of the silver left. So that's one less option for people.

I want to get a kit but in Piano Black. Looks like WoodDashExperts.com has them but I'm not sure about the quality until someone vouches for them.

If anything else fails, i'll get the blk CF. Any chance for a GB Mr.Mark? Also, Mr.Mark, are you talking about WoodDashExperts.com or Car-Gym.com?

I'm dealing direct with the manufacturer......who probably makes them for all these companies.

I have both the Carson molded 7 piece molded kit and the same CF dash kit that I'm trying to get a special buy on. The CF dash kit uses the thin 3M adhesive so it doesn't stick up as much.

Upper dash pieces:

They're totally different kits from different manufacturers. One is molded hard CF while the other is a flat CF with 3M adhesive. They look different because they are different.

yes it does but the price difference with the number of pieces is significant even though i probably wouldnt use all 33 pieces of the other kit
