Default interior brushed aluminum overlay kit

Has anyone gotten this? I'm really likin it, but am wondering about the quality of the stick-ons. tctunerz is the only place that offers it that I know of, but the pictures on the site don't show it on the car, and that cardomain one has blurry pictures. maybe there's another place that offers it at a lower price too - if anyone has experience with this overlay kit, please let me know, much appreciated!

I would highly reccomend searching some of the threads that deal with tctunerz. He is highly bashed and a lot of people have had problems with his business. You might wonder why no other company has come out with a brushed aluminum yet, and how an independent business like his manufactures them? I just got a VERY NICE kit from partshippers.com from Lip on scionlife. Highly satisfied! However the manufacturing company that made my kit AAA exotics or somethin like that does not make a kit for the TC YET. I would wait if I were you, this company is bound to start making a kit for the TC. This way you get a real dash kit!

Peace

there is one on ebay that goes dfor around $180 that looks very well done. try searching for seller Steet Stealth Concepts...i wouldnt use ALL of the kit, but i would use some to accent the interior. i would rather have brushed than CF...too much CF can be rice overkill.

I'd go for the aluminum over carbon fiber any day of the week. I'm skeptical about overlays and appliques though. They're just glorified stickers.

well i got my kit from streetstealth i only used like 30 peices of the 42 . I wanted to keep it clean. They have custom colors. I myself chose the white one for my AP color. They are good guys and have good serivce. They give you a glove and alchohol pads and adhesive. I highly recommend requestiong for more adhesive pads because i ran out. I have pics but i have to find them !!

Long time ago i saw a white kit. Anybody know if they're still available? I'd like to see if they might work out on a white car.

I'm thinking about getting one...I think CF is rice and the plastic on the console scratches VERY easily
