Default Installed aluminum dash strips today

Well I decided to spend a couple of hours dismantling the dash on my car to install the aluminum trim pieces. Man Porsche uses a lot of screws!! You can see all the details of this install on Renntech.org

Here are a few before, during and after pictures:

Very nice. I concur with Jamie. It does not seem like much, but the difference is night and day.

It took about 2 hours in total. Clink on the rentech.org link in my first post for more photos and direction on the install. Difficulty level out of 10: 6
