Default Dash Kit

I was thinking of adding a dash kit and I have a couple of questions for those who have installed them.
Once installed can these be removed or do they damage the original material.
Can you recommend a mfg. Looking for quality not cost.
Thanks

If you put them on to last they will not come apart again from OEM parts without parts needing refinished. I did not do one with the vette, used all real CF parts not the stick ons, but I had one for a Cadillac a few years back in real wood, and those pieces were never coming off so you are pretty much stuck buying or trading for other pieces should you change your mind later on.
