Anyone with dash overlays?

My dash is looking kinda old, was looking through various catalogs and remembered those dash overlays that Next Generation sells.

Yes, I know the wood overlays are cheesy looking - but does anyone have either the wood or the carbon fiber overlays in their car, and can you post a picture? I really want to see what the hell it looks like when installed.

Look around for MacEwan Motorsports, supposedly the greatest white-face overlays on the market. While I love my white/red on black stock Firebird look, all the Camaros I've seen improve their looks about a gazillion times over with the white face gauges. MacEwan's also less expensive then yearone...

Yup, those face overlays rock.

I mean the dash overlays, those that sit on the plastic panels on the dash. Does anyone have any experience with them?

My buddy had one in his Pontiac Bonneville. It didn't look too bad; actually, it looked kind of nice. You could tell it was a sticker, though. You could also see in some spots (like around the gauges) where the holes weren't cut exactly- you could see the original dash underneath.

But once you ignored the fact it was a sticker, it really did look slick. In fact I was kind of amazed that I liked it (usually I don't like trendy stuff).
