with that aside. does the textured black bezel match the rest of the black texture on the dash? got any good pics of that one? im not too keen on spending another 80.00 on silver paint.

try to double check and make certain that both the billing AND shipping addresses are out of NJ state.
if the black grain doesn't match the dash, it's pretty damn close to it given the properties of the soft-tooling that was used to produce the kit. see attached for pics:

lol That's my dash piece in the last two pictures! hahahahaQuality of pix aren't as good as Inphluence's tho.. >=( guy got a fotoshoot and everything going. lol
Anyway, The center piece won't match totally with the rest of the dashboard but the difference is so minimal you won't notice unless you like staring at your dashboard during traffic. =P
If any of you are worried about how the grains will match just get the metallic grain just like your OEM piece. The bottom HVAC controls can also be comboed to be Metallic upper bezel + black grain lower HVAC.
and Mike (Enjanir) - yeah the installation requires bending of the interior frame behind the dash so going backwards is kinda hard. =\

i think the best way to get these dash kits are .....just call an australian dealership and order the oem dash which already has a double din radio in it....very simple..instead of waiting 4 or 5 weeks!!
^^^but what are you going to do about the HVAC controls?
secondly, the OEM double-din panel doesn't have the "visor" built in. Go drive around w/the OEM double-din panel and see how much glare is over the entire screen. It gets very hard to see.
The orbital kit has a visor/hood that is molded in so that you dont get that glare. It helps big time. You can actually see the entire screen without any problems. Not to mention, the orbital piece looks a LOT better than the OEM one.
I honestly believe the money was well spent on the Orbital kit.
