legend5 kits suck from what I'm told
this kit from importtoys seems to be a complete kit as it covers up the stock woodgrain (which is gay)
I'd rather have brushed aluminum, the emboss-look I don't like at all; especially when it has weird openings around each of the LEDs. It just doesn't look right when the kit is THAT thick.
brushed aluminum would look much better imo; as one would think it'd be thinner... i dunno though... most dash kits i've seen I'm not impressed with unless it replaces the WHOLE dash... not just little pieces of it
-----
and screw a strut tower bar. Its a bit hard to put one in the back of an SC, and putting one in the front of any car is a waste of time. What do you want? MORE understeer? No thanks; I'll go with anti-sway bars in the front and back with a thicker one in the back. I'd rather have neutral or slightly oversteering handling instead of understeering and plowing right into a guardrail.

I agree
I agree w/BEAn. THe kits need to be a complete dash REPLACEMENT not STICK ON top. The stick ons look cheap and have NEVER complimented the dash.
Unfortunately I don't know ANY makers of full OEM dash replacements. IF I had..I would've done it already

my buddy has a 4 Runner and he ordered one of those stick on carbon fiber kits for the interior of his truck. It looks gay and lacks any sort of class. I agree with the guys that think a full replacement would look better.
