I don't know, whats the point of a flat dash kit when the interior has no flat surfaces? Wouldn't it just peal off the first time it got warm or got dust on the adhesive? Also the price is stupid, $64 - $170 for a few stickers? sounds like snakeoil to me. They don't even bother showing what it would actually look like, all they show is their molded kits for other cars.

Peel off? It's a replacement for all the interior trim pieces, not a sticker.

nope, both sites give a picture of the sticker layout and they claim to use 3M adhesive. The pictures of the 'finished product' even say "image may not reflect product being sold"

Yea those are just stickers basically. Ive heard very bad things about those kits sold on ebay. The only way that you want to get an interior kit is if it was molded pieces because the molded pieces are actually replacements, whereas the flat kits are just sticker coverups. I'd be weary of buying that.

Those kits are OK, but get one made for the Alero.
Be sure to prep the area with alcholic swabs before installing

i know from experience they are stickers. they're a little thick but still stickers they send you glue and you just glue them on..i haven't installed yet because they look really tacky and just..gross.

Wonder how much it would run to have someone lay carbon fiber over the stock pieces. Sounds like im making a trip to the custom's shop here in town on monday.

Not to get off topic, but redog whats up with the blue knobs? i think the stock black would flow better. or are those the stock knobs but custom done?
