See the thread under "Do it yourself" for the particulars... but cost-wise I got lucky. My boss has a friend at the local ford dealership who does bodywork. He charged me $75 to sand and paint the panels all supplies included! I got lucky on the trim peices too. I've made a friend with my local Honda parts counter guy. He sold me the meter trim, and the center panel trim for $110 which is well under retail. They were very easy to install with the included , sturdy double-sided foam tape

Damn that looks amazing. What is the part number of the meter trim? I've never seen that style.

ervenwill,

Think you can hook us up with that deal on the meter and center panel trim?? Let's make it a group buy special!! :D

Nevermind the panels... (they look nice though) Tell me about that Bracketron iPod holder!!

I can't find their website anywhere. How is it mounted? Is it permanent? Does it require drilling? etc... etc...

Any help here would be hot. Thanks.

EDIT- FOUND THEIR SITE FINALLY. Thanks.
