Default Dash trim kits?

I've been thinking about getting a kit that would spruce up the interior of my 97 Civic coupe a bit. Unfortunately I can't find one I like. The kits IMO look great in the next generation civic because of how much smoother the center console is, etc. What is a decent kit out there for the 97 and most importantly, does anyone have pictures of it installed? Not worried about colors or anything I just want to see quality differences in this car between vendors.

Did I fall asleep and wake up in the 90s? Check Ebay for those and try Google for the images.

Possibly you don't know what you are looking for? There are dozens online.

Can't believe I actually googled this; wow it looks old...

http://www.carshine.com.au/index.htm...da%20Civic.htm

edit: all i could find, not going to look anymore. For RHD obviously, should work on LHD too... but why? Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrapping yourself would be much more. I don't know, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, lol good luck.

Because what's old is new again. Big wings and gaudy body kits will make a comeback next.

So you're that guy on this forum that has some **** to say about what everyone is doing huh. It's not that I don't know, it's that there is very limited ammount of photos with the actual product installed.

I wasn't looking for woodgrain, just wanted to see how the dash looks with overlays period. Not a good look so I'll pass. I was hoping for something like this but the interior of the 97 isn't as flush fitting as the 01-05 so it won't work.

The reason that you are finding a hard time is that this was a fad that played itself out long time ago. I also gave you a link to a site that seems to be one of the few still selling kits.

But when you come into a tech forum asking about appearance stuff this is what you get.

I keep finding stuff.

So you definitely aren't looking hard enough.

Or maybe you want to get into NEW stuff like Hydrographics. Put whatever you want on your parts.

i had a silver CF dash it installed into a 240sx convertible, i had years back. i felt it didn't look as good as it should have. they never look as good as the pictures and eventually due to the adhesive they tend to start falling off looking like ****.
