I like this kit on ebay. The door trim is nice. I don't like the kits with stuff stuck on the radio.

Its because of the convex shape. Notice that the rest of the kit parts are pretty flat. They curve where they can, but convex and concave shapes evidently don't work well with the materials used.

We finally got to order one of these. Here's a few shots of our kit. We ordered the 56 piece kit from edashkit.com, its Titanium Burl Wood. We're very pleased with the overall look and feel.
We had a couple of pieces come up after a couple of days, particularly where there are a couple of sharp curves, like the on the steering wheel. I'll post some photos later of where its happening. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with it, so if anyone has suggestions, I'm open to them. Two comments about installation. First, like everyone said, take your time. I have a couple of pieces that aren't quite lined up right. Second, get some additional promoter before hand. They really don't provide enough.

I promised to come back to this and I never did. How I fixed it was to remove the tape from the sections that peeled up. Cleaned both surfaces with alcohol. I treated both surfaces (dash kit and peeled parts) with promoter sticks purchased on E-bay (3M TAPE PRIMER 94). Then I used strips of 3M red backed interior adhesive tape purchased from AutoZone. Its a different part number, but essentially the same stuff used on the dash kit. Now everything is where its supposed to be.
