If you trust everything would fit properly for the car and your willing to shell out the money I'd go with the Carbon Fiber look. Hopefully everything works out if you do in fact follow through.

292 horsepower stock? I thought all Japanese cars has to be under 280 HP out of factory.

Depends on the vendors. You can get some good stuff as long as the vendor and brand is reputable. But no name vendors or individuals will usually sell you crap. I wouldnt spend a lot on something/someone who you have never heard of.

Might as well look at our local vendor IPT. They sell dash kits to and it's not much of a digital walk to reach them.

I'd stay away from the 'chips' that you see all over ebay. They are just a resistor that you install on your MAF. It fools the ECU in thinking there is colder (denser) air coming in, thus, dumping more fuel.
It's just a big waste of time.

I've seen ebay kits from that vendor and they look really good...dash kits have to be the easiest thing to make....it's suprising that some people f-them up so badly. Go for it! As for those chips.....may add 1 or 2 HP, but will cost you $ for extra gas all the time. I see now they are giving them away for .01...thats funny!
