Nah, pull the false bottom out of the rear holder, and let'er sit down lower. I wish they would have used some of the space on the passenger side to include one of the fold down, slide out dual cup holders also, and something... anything for the rear. The holders won't hold 2, 20oz sodas, now that sucks.

The ONLY way those kits could even start to look good was if it was a full wrap instead of just some stickies where you can see the edging and let lint collect.

If you can see the original paneling still then its just rice.

never mind the fact that those kits yellow after time (and the wood ones turn a slight green)

Yeah, i do wish it was a full wrap.. for sure. I still think it looks better in my case. My dash was entirely black on black on black, not to mention plastic. I remember the first time my sister sat in my car when it was new, fresh from the dealer. First words were "OMG, whats will all this plastic?"

I've had my dash kit for 20 months, looks like it did the day i installed it, no yellow, no lint, nothing. I've had lots of compliments on it at several carshows.
