Dash Trim Kits

[my99boxster]

Does anyone have any experience/feedback on the NUMEROUS different types of adhesive-based trim kits? I know it's the cheap way to go but are there some brands that are better than others? Anyone recommend this (or not doing this?)

Just my $.02 but I wouldn't even put on the "best" adhesive based kit EVEN if it were free. No matter how great they claim to be they still look like stick on crap. You will spend from 300-500 for a descent kit or more for the better ones

OR......

you could spend just a bit more and do the most visible and impactful pieces in OEM parts and look GREAT!

No to mention you can NEVER change it since that adhesive crap will be all over everything and you will not be able to get it back to original quality.

I agree with LVDell. There is no way that a stick-on layer of plastic will look stock. I would stick with OEM or have your pieces painted professionally if you want a color interior. What are you shooting for? A painted finish or carbon fiber (real or look)?

I originally wanted to have the interior pieces painted but my interior is black and the car is basalt so I doubt it would have much impact if they were painted. I do have some aluminum trim (shifter & parking brake handle) that are stock so I guess I could go that route.

Don't do it. Have them professionally painted or carbon fibered. Check with Eric at www.bumperplugs.com :)
