It is 4 pieces: both front vents are covered, the center console, and around the shifter

It is held on with 3m double sided tape very easy install, and i liked the oem look better then the aftermarket ones

looks alright. still waiting for aftermarket alluminum brushed style kit.
my stock dash is little scratched now. paint chipped out

JLannoo: Did you spray paint the silver plastic around yr radio? I've been holding off on buying the OEM kit because, like you, I realized that a chunk of the silver plastic dash remained exposed after installation of the OEM pieces. If you opted for paint, was it a choice you'd recommend?

Nah I still have silver seams everywhere. Thats just the black metra dash kit

You can easily take everything off the silver panels. So I'm sure it wouldnt be much trouble to spray them black Before you install the kit. If the silver showing bugs ya :)

Even if the silver didn't show in the middle of the dash, it'll still show by the door handles/levers. It highlights it better that way rather than making the whole interior black.

The antenna on the far right is a delorme earthmate. I Had not removed it yet after replacing it with the Garmin GPS V you can see by the steering wheel.

The dash stuff is just the duel din plate that comes with the metra dash kit. I filled the upper slot with a generic din pocket. That way I could have the radio lower in the dash and still use the pocket when the radio opens (its swings down). Its easier to use lower as well.
