FWIW, I disassembled all that trim, cleaned off the factory paint (really a rubberized coating) and then sprayed on about 10 light coats of Duplicolor "bumper paint". It has a similar color/texture to stock and is much more scratch resistant.
We have issues with the same behavior on 1993 Mazda RX7 interior panels, which are big $$$, so the bumper paint and Plastidip methods have been used a lot. Take your time and I guarantee no one will know that they have been refinished.

Why would I lie? I am not getting any benefit from giving them a negative feedback. I am just a normal car driver out there. I went back to my "Sent" folder and the email that I sent to them was on 06/02/2011.
I don't know how you think about customer service but to me it is very important. No matter how cheap the part is, if they give their customers crappy service, I will never buy anything from them. Consider what if the part is not as described or just is not what you bought and they keep ignoring your emails. Then what would you do? Take them to the court for $1 transaction? To keep myself out of trouble like that, I'll just avoid those businesses with bad customer service.

Has anyone tried the dash kit in the attached link?
I'm thinking either OEM finish, aluminum or CF.

I am only looking for the pass and driver door pull areas. The rest of the car looks fine(2007 g35x). I am thinking about just painting them when I do my front grill in black.
As for calling him a liar, too bad they don't have an Un-thank button. If the guy had an axe to grind or a hidden agenda, he would have actually lied and said he had gotten the product and it sucked. Please think before you type

I would get the +08 part thought. No rubbery paint that peals off.

I know my Boxster had a similar problem, but at least the platic underneath was black and not white.

If your asking me, I don't know yet. I am still a Noob and trying to figure it out. I am half tempted to get some over lays either in black or brushed metal like the rest of my trim. The main reason for the overlay is I have taken door panels off before and it is never as easy as the video on here shows. I always screw something up.

Who ever painted the interior trims, please share your experience here. I asked in my first post in this thread already but no one answered my question yet.
1) How did you remove the rubber coat on the trims? Will paint remover or multi-purpose remover work?
2) Is there a step by step instruction to remove the trim on the steering wheel? A video clip would be helpful.

I imagine it is the same process as the grill painting
