    Default Best place for dash trim kits?

    I'm looking for a black dash trim kit for my 2009 G37 Coupe, what's the best retailer? Ebay?

    Amazon is usually good but I was looking for one for myself and it turned out crutchfield has the best prices for the same thing.

    Sorry I meant for all the decorative trim in the car.. Not the stereo.

    Is it because yours is that super fragile shitty finish has started to scratch off and show the grey underneath? When I had one of those cars and that happened I just took it off and used black plastidip. It comes out exactly the same look/feel as OEM if you do it right, but is more durable.

    Best bet will be to dip it or vinyl wrap it. There isn't much for these cars unless you want to go carbon fibre.

    The kits are almost $300.

    My car is black with black dash but with the beige leather, looks hideous matched to the brushed aluminum trim pieces... Unfortunately I suck at spray painting and I find Plasti dip looks tacky and also fades.

    Oh well, I plan to sell the car after winter anyways and if not I'll suck it up and buy a professionally done set in black.

    Probably cheaper to buy a huge roll of vinyl and then learn to wrap yourself

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Vinyl wrap is all you'll find if you don't want to spend hundreds. There's not much in the way of aftermarket for the G.
