Ebay vinyl Dash kit

Hey, I was browsing ebay, and im wondering How this would look in a 2003 lancer oz rally... i have lightening yellow paint.. i would get this in "porche yellow" how would that look.. Does any1 know any good dash companys that would do a good yellow to match the car? This is the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MITSU...5782QQtcZphoto

well... all this is on ebay is LIKE a sticker... they say its vinly but its basically in a nutshell the same thing, Im talking about like just a sticker sheet thats a flat color, like yellow, with a high gloss, that you just apply... im thinkin that its the same thing this guys selling, but idk ?? ?

two tone interiors that match almost never look good unless its professionally done in a show car with other stuff going on... Black interior ftw.

Lol it was a ***** to put on? ehh.. i just ordered it.. it was only 24 bucks from the site so oh well, Who cares. Yeh i havent seen any "DASH KITS" not just stickers, but id imagine youd be running close too 500+ for the kit, considering OEM dash's are freaking expensive.

But why?

I understand if its to a really basic color such as black or white or something. But to match the color of the car? Thats insanely tacky and riced out, unless you're planning for the whole deal as a showcar, which i doubt since you're worried about spending money.

Im sorry i just dont see anything pretty about it.
