Default Vinyl dash kit, anyone try this before?

I found this company that does vinyl dash kits starting at $50. Anyone ever try out one of these?

My workplace I think is buying one for a customers Yukon Denali as the wood trim is faded. If it goes on well and isn't too chincy I might be buying one myself for the 951. I will post back if that happens or not.

Let us know how the Denali turns out. Looks like a decent option for dull looking trim.

Definitely keep us updated. Everyone around here is looking for a good dash option.

It wasn't what I was thinking, the upper dash is what everyone wants to fix, but looks pretty cool for the price.

Some years ago I bought a "wood trim" kit for the 944. Looked great in pictures. When I got the kit, it turned out to be some sorta fake plastic stuff, which looked like wood but felt like Gummi Bears or those fake fishing worms.

I sent it back.

I would suggest avoiding the vinyl ones. We had one on my wife 2001 neon years back and you can tell they're cheap looking and was more of a pain to install as well. The dash kits that are thicker with the poly coating are a nicer product even the 70-80 ones on ebay. The jager engineering are nice as well but they are 3 times the price.
