Has anyone purchased the RM Racing Carbon Fiber Dash Kit?
http://www.rmnsx.com/s2000/carbon_fiber_dash_kit.htm
How does it look?
Easy to install?
Worth the $?
Pictures of the finished product would be greatly appreciated.

I've had it for a long time.
It is better than pictured below in person but something can be done to make it look better, such as matt finish than the gloss look.
Is it worth it?? I don't know, I can't say. Does it look nice? Yes, especially the driver side is nice where the parts are concentrated.
It is difficult to install, make sure your surface is clean of oil or especially ArmorAll. One mistake and cannot get the piece back on without spraying some residue in the back. Heat Gun is mandatory,at the time I didn't have the gun and instead used, gasp, heater. I don't recommend this method, so get the heat gun if you are planning on doing this
Good thing is that it will not harm the surface and you can probably restore it to the original state with a right chemical to remove residue.
RM price is bit too steep and some choices in cutting is questionable(long straigt pair of piece for roll bars and center piece). If you want to do it, go ahead.
Pictures taken eons ago last year winter, have little greenish tone but in real it isn't:
Once again it is better than pictured but I leave the judgement to you.

I wish the price is cheaper and the finish is matt instead of glossy.
RM Racing any plan on doing that??
Do it if you really want to.
Your part in installation is very critical so be prepared for that.
Good luck

RM Racing, is there a group buy or membership discounting on your Work Wheels? I'm very interested but alittle reluctant to shell out $2600 right now. Your thoughts,please.
