May I ask how hard it was to install the dash kit? I'm thinking of the real aluminum for my red GT. Which aluminum did you get? Do the panels feel like they're pretty well on.

I got my dash kit from wooddashexperts.
I have some Real Aluminum.. and some Red/Black Carbon fibor.
Intall was easy, however teadious as it requires a bit of patience. don't try it if your overcooked on coffee!
I feel they look great!
They just stick on - - the entire back side is covered with 3M Sticky... and once they are on.. you are NOT going to get them off without totally destroying the dash!

Yeah I saw your pics from the car show, nice car. I like the mix of the red/black CF and the aluminum however I definatly can't afford to buy $400 of kits just to use half of it. 3M makes some sticky stuff, I just put on some aluminum trim on the rear tail lights and they're sticking well, it does the outline of the lights and the two lines between the lights. I'm probably gonna order some sample pieces, they won't give you 2 for free, its $5 for 4 samples but they'll refund you the $5 when/if you order a kit.
Do you know if the E brake handle can be replaced by an aftermarket one like a MOMO, they have some cool ones but I don't know if they'll fit a stang, one site I though said they would fit mustangs however others don't list them as compatible. Worst case scenario I could go with the billet aluminum e brake slip on I've seen on ebay for like $60.

Just received my "Chrome Trim Kit" from a seller on ebay called "e_seller05"
BUYER BEWARE ON THIS ONE.......
The picture looks great, but what you will receive is a package containing flat chrome stick-on moulding. You have to figure out how to make it curve around while still staying flat and HOPE it comes out like the picture. He didn't even include alcohol wipes to clean before you stick.
PLUS, there's a note in the package letting you know that if you leave bad feedback you can expect to be flamed..."If I receive bad feedback, you can expect the same in return"
SO...if you WANT flat moulding, then by all means buy this item, but if you're like me and expected a pre-made item then don't waste your $30.00 on this stuff, just go to the local detail shop and buy it by the foot!
Hope this helps someone!

RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP!
MikefromMass, I too got the same kit from the same seller as you and it is a little crappy about the bad feedback deal but I read in some feedback that if you mess up a light he'll send you more free of charge so he's pretty much just saying he wants to make it right before you giving him bad feedback but I agree he could have worded it better. The trim is a little challanging to put on but came out great for me but its only been on 3 weeks so we'll see, it is 3m adhesive though. The corners are the hardest, I found it best to just go around ther corners tight and then lay down the next 4 inches or so of straight molding, the corner will pop up but you can go back and push it down hard and it should be good to go from there. Its much harder to get the corner to stick before laying down the next part of flat. It isn't the easiest kit but it is definatley the cheapest.
