yes, tried them, will I ever get one again? No, waste of money? Yes, Poor quality? Yes. they say it can be installed while dash is in car, don't see how to pull that off. I had the dash out, had plenty of c-clamps and it still fits like crap. Took som trimming, a lof of flue. The plastic is thick, so bezels & ***** & stuff don't fit properly, the glove box door hangs on it, the speaker grilles are not removable, just a line and punched holes. Never again. I will build a custom interior just to get rid of the damn thing.

That settles the dash cap. Saw another post a little farther down. Doesn't look good. Still wondering about T-Top skins. Thanks..

Exactly the same results I got. I looks decent, but was not worth the effort, and agree, never again.
Like TT, I used a load of spring clamps and c-clamps. The whole passenger side let go. I had to go to the store and find another adhesive. I ended up using a 3m adhesive that reminds me of rubber cement.
