Wait, what one on ebay did you order? I was thinking about getting this one -----------> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3064927&rd=1,1
Is that the one you bought that was crap, or was it another one? This one looks okay to me and I was going to order it. Does anyone else know where to get a good aluminum kit? C'mon, I know you 03 owners hate that plastic interior!!!

Dahkyne, just wondering if you have the kit you listed, and if its any good?
Also, is that kit the same one offered here -----> http://www.wooddashexperts.com/custo...e.php?cat=1718 ? Same price, same description, same pictures of the pieces.
Also, the kit from ebay that I said I was considering is from this company http://www.mimousa.com/home.asp?dir=products&prod=637 . I wonder which one of these are the best quality??

i have an '06 sedan, so my car came with aluminum trim already.

most of the kits i've seen were not aluminum, but real carbon fiber placed on top of existing aluminum trim. personally, i would remove the aluminum trim altogether and replace everything with CF - but it's not easy nor cheap to do.

the kits you listed are all from the same manufacturer so i'd say the quality is consistent, but i cant say anything about the aluminum versions - only the carbon fiber ones. i would suggest going with one of the vendors you trust that has a good return policy, in the event that what you order isn't so great.

best of luck...

All the AL stick on kits I have seen are total crap. They look cheap and start to come off in high heat.
