Default eBay Dash kit

Has anyone ever seen this before? Looks interesting, probably not going to get one but wondering if anyone had done this before. I think I've seen a few homemade dash parts on here before but never this.

I haven't seen one of these on eBay since I bought a carbon fiber kit 6.5 years ago. That'* a really good price considering the retail cost of these kits.

Wait, is that basically vinyl decals or real stuff?

They are vinyl decals cut to fit your existing trim.

Yeah, while those sound great, and I'm sure if done perfectly they can be, it specifically says that it is not designed to fully cover the original pieces in place, so it'* probably like those DIY window tinting kits. They are awesome if you get it 100% right without screwing anything up.

As always, I'm sure that you might want to let a pro do it. How many professional "dash-decalers" do you know? hehe

I'd say it looks cool, but buy at your own risk... things are usually worth whatever you pay for them...
