Dash Kit $32.00. Is it okay?

Just bought a 97 Camry last week and the wood grain dash kit is nasty and faded. I found a cheap dash kit online but the price is so low, it makes me worry.. I've heard the good ones usually run between $100-$200, but I'm looking for a cheap fix to the problem. So I have these two questions if anyone can offer an opinion:
  1. What are you paying for when you buy a "better" dash kit?
  2. Is there any reason why I should avoid this product at $32.00 (including shipping)?
here it is: http://www.automotiveconcepts.net

That looks like it's only the trim for the radio- not the whole dash kit. And for $32, it's kinda expensive. The whole kit- not including the optional radio kit that you have a link to, it $138.40. http://www.automotiveconcepts.net/st...&type3_select=

thanks

My bad, that price makes a lot more sense. It looks like I'm going to have to spend some money if I want to get rid of the funk.. Thanks for the link

I guess I got pretty lucky.....this was from an individual and not one of the "auto supplier" type bussiness people that post 10,000 products on there. But if I remember right I think there were some on there in the $50-60 range....but most are $100+


Just payed for mine the other day so havent recieved it yet...but seemed to be about the same kit that sells for the $100+ price plus I think this kit had a few more pieces the high dollar ones didnt.

Yeah, I think you got a good deal. This item/price looks okay but the seller looks kinda shady. If you wouldn't mind, let me know how yours experience turns out buying this stuff on ebay. I'll be keeping my eye out. Thanks for the info!
