Default dash kits

hey has anyone used those dash trim kits that are like chrome, or carbon fiber, or wood, etc, that are self adhesive that go on the trim of the dash, shifter, etc? i see them on ebay but i want to know if they really look that good when they are put on. and please don't just suggest i take the parts out of the car and paint them myself

theyre stickers i cant imagine them being good at all because all of the surfaces on your car are rounded, and unless they give you rounded stickers which they wont, it will look bad and folded over

lol sorry. pull the parking brake all teh way up as far as you can. there is a screw in each of the 2 front cup holders and then 4 screws in the cubby thingy. then it should come out. you will prob have to move your shifter to 1st to be able to get it out. getting it back in is a pain because it only goes in one way, but maybe im just stupid with it lol. then there are 4 screws around the shifter surrounding thingy. you will also have to take the shifter **** or handle or whatever you want to tall it off. there is a allen screw in the front of it. there is also a light in the thingy (not sure the correct name for it), so be careful to take it out from the bottom once you have the screws out and the **** off and it is just loose. (just dont get excited and rip it out taking the bulb and ripping wires with it. ) i think thats it
