You always get what you pay for.

In my opinion stay away from Ebay kits.
They are cheap quality & mostly plastic.

The best place to buy is Joshua Tree Wood Trim :- http://www.woodtrim.com/

They have orignal aluminium kits with real wood kits.

Price is a little high but again you get what you pay for.

Thanks.

yea..you might be right, imma go ahead and buy it anyways, other kits are too much. I don't think the kit is plastic, its just thin aluminum. Anyways, the guy has a 30 day money back guarantee, so no lose situation, maybe on shipping. When I get it, I'll let yall know if its sh*tty or not.

You can go to web site that make the product http://www.alkaplus.com and ask them to send you the sample pieces. You can decide whether you should buy them or not. Plus they only cost $120 + shipping so it maybe cheaper then E-bay and you don't have to win the bid.

It looks like grey cardboard embedded in plastic, which is essentially what it is. Like someone already said, you get what you pay for. I've ordered three kits from http://www.exoticwooddash.com and have not been disappointed.

I got samples from woodtrim.com
& they are awesome.

Real wood not plastic at all.
(remember you get what you pay for)

I highly recommend them.

Has anyone purchased the real aluminum dash from Joshua Tree? I just bought it yesterday and am wondering if it is hard to install.

I think you have to take extra precaution
while installing .
My friend said that they bend easily so be careful & don't press too hard.

Thanks!
