do you recommend any dashkit online vendors....?

That site seems pretty cool. The aluminum or brushed aluminum ones interest me. Anybody know about this site?

i placed an order for some samples... because im a J-double-oh
not really, im agnostic SHH, but im still not one to throw money around...

I would check on that because some of the kits are just tape you put on over the pieces. I would try to find a kit that actually gives you the pieces because it would look a lot better than tape.

they say 'real wood' and then if one of your pieces is messed up, you send it back so they can match the GRAIN of the wood as closely as they can, so its seems there the real deal... i dont want crappy vinyl stickers is all! (my side stripe and bumper inserts are vinyl, but they look good! lol

W00t, i just got my samples, and might i say i am reasonably impressed
the brushed aluminum is as think as a penny(while half of that size is taken up by the adhesive on the opposite side, so thin that it is flexible), while the carbon fiber is thicker than a nickel by quite a few nanometers.
both samples were an inch an a quarter long ovals. they are both stuck on the paper really good, (i couldnt get them off if i tried without ripping the paper)
i dont know if i ever got one of these kits if i would get the 'real brushed aluminum' because i think it would look too 'bling bling' but the carbon fiber, IMO looks really sweet, and i thinck it would look pretty stock, not too out there if you know what i mean. any other q's that would be able to be answered by 2 samples just ask... the postage on the envelope was an amazing 60 cents.
