Default Interior Trim Kits

Has anyone purchased one that actually fits?

I just want to buy 2 pieces from one of these kits. The driver and passenger door window/lock switch covers.

Which kit do you have and do those 2 pieces fit perfectly and look nice?
Thanks

What are you looking for? Carbon fiber or painted?

I have never seen door and window lock covers in different colors i do have the ones that go around the door handle but i don't think that is what you want.

I don't care if it's wood trim or carbon fiber I can have it painted to match.

The main thing is that they fit perfect over the window/door lock switches

Im not sure we know what your looking for. Ive never seen covers for the door lock switch area, just for the door handle. Do you have any pics of what you looking for?

Here is mine that I did. Just used about 1/3 of a dash kit for accent. It is a co. called New York City Dashes. They come in all colors.

Wow, Ive never even heard of those before. Does it just fit in over top of the rubber piece, with cutouts for the switches or something?

Kits that are car dash specific. You just install what you want. All veneer with 2 sided tape.

Wow, I like the peices you used. The chrome accent looks very nice and accents the interior very well. I wouldn't mind doing this myself as I'm doing a silver/chrome w/ black interior setup on my whole car. Did you just throw away all the other peices? I think putting those huge dash peices in chrome on there would be Not to mention blinding when the sun hits it right haha.

I am going to order a kit in brushed aluminum from autoaccessory store.com and I am only going to use some of the pieces. A 25 piece kit is about $100. Hope it is not crap.
