Evitzee, couldn't help but notice the Moody Blues cd in your front door pocket. I can only imagine listening to the song "Gemeni Dream" while installing the kit. Like member Phillip MSPT, I would like to see piano black as a kit. Afterall, LG tv's went back to this for 2007 and 2008 for Plasma and LCD borders to the screens due to demand.

got my kit today!

Question for those that have installed...

Does it matter what the temp is when you install. doesnt say any where on the instructions but its pretty cold in IL??

What do you think? anything to worry about or should i wait for it to warm up a little?

Thanks,

PS to those who asked about tape to cover the wood trim i have the CF kit from carson and it had a roll of tape to use. will post up pics for those that want to see how it looks with wood.

According to my pack of 3M double sided tape that I used to install my Lexon roof spoiler it says to ensure the temperature is above 60 F. If you install it in cold temperatures it won't stick as well due to potential high humidity as well as the low temp which will decrease its adhesiveness. I'd wait till it warms up.

So I never really posted my trims. What a great thread to post it in.

My hands were very shaky as I did it with one hand. I had a flashlight on the other hand so I can get some light on the pearls.

Painted by Joe @ Backyard Creations. 1 of a kind POCKY Special! Meaning....No one else can copy it!!!!! haha

if you hav wood trim do not get the overlay. I have the wooden trim before and it looks pretty retarded. however, I'm not about to take them all off and redo it 'cause I'm lazy so if you hav the wood trim I suggest that you do not do this mod unless you don't care. If you're at the hamburger run then I'll show you the interior of my car and you'll see the wood trim below it.
