Alright, so about half way done and made some observations. The overall quality of the kit is top notch, however there are some issues.
- There are some seams, and not all pieces cover the area they are supposed to 100%.
- This leaves some areas with exposed plastic.
- The adhesion promoter pen is a must, especially on contoured surfaces.
- The material is pretty glossy. Hopefully I wont get blinded when it glints in the sun.
The install is actually very easy, the material is forgiving allowing for readjustment if need be. I thought I opted for the 'less is more' approach, however I may have gone overboard, well see soon.

Pic of the rig
Full dash view
View from passenger door. Over head kit overkill? I dunno yet.
This is the part that bugs me a bit. Notice the seams in the cutouts and the missing portion of covering, all the silver underlay poking through.
The doors look great IMO. This is the passenger rear door. Again, there are seams.
Everything should tie in nicely once my clazzio seat covers arrive. They are black/light grey with white stitching.

I was considering something along the lines of these, they are pre-formed peel and stick variety.

Price is OK with me if I can rid the interior of wood grain
Can you show a pic of the center stack? Does it completely cover the piece?

There is a 'main kit' and 3 optional upgrade kits. The main kit has the center stack, I did not order it. Only went with the optional kits.

Looks really good. I wouldn't worry about those little edges.
