Hmm...the seller has perfect feedback score so I was thinking he's on the up and up. The last set sold for about 159 UK pounds which is over $300.

Here's another listing at over twice the price:

That's the same link I saw on ebay last week as well. I did some research & here's what I found...

1) It doesn't include the rear seat lower fan vent surround so you'll have to make one yourself (Spray paint it matte silver???)

2) I can do the install myself on all the pieces EXCEPT the door trim pieces (4) since I don't want to mess w/the doors for the obvious reason. I was quoted 4 hours of labor total w/the local $tealership charging $115/hr that comes out to $460 JUST FOR LABOR ON 4 PIECES!!! :thumbsdown: So I'm going to pass on this idea until I find an inside hookup at the $tealership.

Damn, pricy. I had gotten a quote of $350 from the shop that installed my M Tech Kit. But I think my next few mods will be performance related and then we'll see.

I think that eBay posting was for the real OEM replacement. The owner had replaced the aluminum trim with wood trim. I don't know where to get it here in the US but I guess you can always start with your dealer.

BTW,

but are you Vietnamese? That avatar is funny. Did some pho place really name their store that?? haha

yes but he had the same ad in last week where he replaced his wood trim too.!! :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
