You are going to have to be a bit more specific... are looking for the trim strip above the glovebox? DIN kits for radios? Gauge mouting kits? Replacement parts?

You can paint the trim pieces to match any colour you want. Most people have done it themselves with great success. It's not that hard. Clean, sand, prime, sand, reprime, 2 or 3 coats of paint then clear coat it. Others like me have paid body shops to pait it for us. Cost me $60.00 for paint and labour to do my swith plates, and dash trim in copper red mica.

FusionZoomZoom>> I have all the door pieces (where the window switch is located) for sale if you're interested. I was going to paint them as well, but then I figured that my baby daughter will probably dirty them up anyways. Anyhow, all the pieces are brand new from the dealership....

I got mine painted at Cool1 AutoBody located around Bloor + Christie. The owners name is Carlos. Did a great job for me. I've had them 2 years now with no issues of fade or pealing.

I got mine painted as well.

The dash strip, window switch panels & steering wheel control trim.

Stick on trim kits are so ghetto...

+1 for getting the steering wheel control trim done. At the time I didn't know how easy it was to pop them off so I didn't get them done. Makes the steering wheel "pop" and give it that custom look.

Stick on dash kits are Ghetto ? *grin* Oops, I guess I am ghetto. Ah well, it is not the cheezo awful vinyl ones you see kicking around, mine actually looks OK. I suppose if too many people tell me it is hideous I will simply peel it off and get it painted properly in the same colour. However, I doubt they could duplicate the carbon fibre I have on there now.

www.dashkitmall.com is where I got mine.
