Very Complete Dash Kit
Not exactly my style, but for some it may be useful, as it seems to be one of the more complete dash kits I've seen. They seem to have a decent selection of materials, too.
Well, hope this helps!

Kwescott, Snowfl8k, and myself have these kits. (red, CF Silver, and Yellow kits).
not a big fan of the wood, but we all love our kits. only "defects" are the spots that are a hard bend. like the steering wheel and the rear door handle surounds. other then that I have had great luck with them.
and yes they are a "sticker" kit. the same as you see on 90% of the cars that have dash kits. a full replament would be very expenseive for the entire car. some people really have a problem with the fact that they are "stickers" but I have yet to have someone see it in person and be unsatisfied with it.
the cool thing is YOU decide what peices you want to put on. there are some peices I didnt think I wanted in my car, so I didnt put them in.
oh yeah, and they have a piano black kit to match the rest of the interior. I opted of course for the much more noticable yellow that is an exact match for the color of the car.

The only one's I can vouch for are the one's I've seen in person.

Also saw a yellow one installed, and I liked them all.
They are all from the same company.

Car dealerships pay these guys TONS of money for the exact same kits. I've had the wood trim look on my Mazda 626 for about 4 years now and I still get tons of compliments and no signs of wear on it at all.

I got my car pre-owned from a dealer and it came with a silver version of this kit. The previous owner didn't install all of the pieces but I thought it looked pretty cool. The bad part is, some of the pieces are starting to peel off (defroster vent trim and ash tray trim).
The ash tray part I've never seen before... I think he had a shop cut it for him.
But like I said, some of the pieces are starting to peel off, so I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless you don't mind peeling it off and re-gluing it.
I'd like to remove mine actually and go all black to darken the interior. I just don't know how hard that glue would be to get off, especially on the piano black surfaces.

I wouldn't recommend peeling it all off though, that could leave some pretty bad residue and sometimes the glue used can damage the surface.
