Default Install aluminum dash kit!

Came out nice! What do you guys think? I did not install the entire kit, just a few to give it some contrast.

I looked at allot of samples and the REMIN® - Full Kit from CARID was the best.

Yes, with an adhesion promoter. I must say, in person it looks factory. The spedo area the best way is to remove it and install that on a bench which is what I did. Many of the samples and kits I looked at, the brushed aluminum looked like crap. This kit was on the higher end price scale but, you get what you pay for. This is called real brushed aluminum. From what the rep told me, its real brushed aluminum on a flexible substrate. How ever its made, its top shelf.
