    It's LHD

    I bought mine on e-bay, for UK market. It was shipped from USA, though. Cost me around $200 with postage.

    I think this is the same seller:

    That's the one.

    Def RHD.
    I noted the comments about peeling. I understand it is all in the prepping of the surface prior to placing the trim pieces. You need to remove any grime, vinyl "sweat" etc. That's what the prepping stuff is in the kit, as well as alcohol wipes for final rub-down. Can probably buy additional cleaning stuff from a hardware store or upholsery shop if needed.

    I think it's all covered in the instruction sheet.

    Cheers,

    Wal

    But fate you didn't have a link to a seller did you?

    That one certainly takes the cake as far as detail goes, besides if you don't want to pur certain parts on its your choice:thumbsup:

    so whatever happened to this group buy? I found another place that does RHD Z's. They have a full and not-full kit in a range of styles (eg cf, aluminium etc etc.). The full set is here and the other set is here.
    The full kit installed (off their site):

    A pic of a hotter car with the not-full kit. I just stole it from another thread so it's probably a different manufacturer but I'm sure they're all similar:

    Found this website www.modicoat.com check it out

    This is a Brisbane based company that applies all types of finishes over the car dash trim, it is not a stick on but an application. Possible more expensive than the USA stick on but I think possible a better finish. I intend checking them out and will ask if they will do a special rate for Forum members. For the person who said their ash tray lid would not close with the stick on , it should not happen with this product. Regards MIKEA

    FATE IS CORRECT

    when he posted his warning. We have been researching a number of interior kits, among them the colourful interior panel trim kits, and the carbon fibre and brushed aluminium dash kits. For the information of anyone who is interested, which we trust is appreciated on this thread, we have purchased several kits for experimentation on our own vehicles and are in the throse of negotiating with the manufacturers for an exclusive Aust. and NZ distributorship including bulk buys. If there is enough interest from forum members we can post our results in full in the near future. It may be several weeks before our investigations are completed.

    I check out Modicoat, bloody good quality

    The finish is as hard as your car duco, looks good especially the burl walnut , It takes about 4 days to do and is finished with a hand polish, I saw a carbon fibre centre consule look good, brushed alloy

    This is the only place in Australia doing it, a couple of guys have tried it in Melb and stuff the process up. You dont want to do to much in your interior as it can be a bit over the top,

    I could not tell the difference between his burl walnut done on a piece of tin plate and a real peice of timber that he had its that good. I am going for a European look so will do the centre consule, door openners and window switch surrounds and maybe the ash tray lide, and mirror switches.

    But the price is not cheap , depending on finish a centre consule woul;d be about $300. But if you want quality this is the place, Regards Mikea
