Default I need opinions on a dash kit

I have a delema. My g/f got me a dash kit for valentines day... at first i wasnt excited, but i kinda like it and my car is the saphire blue so the color matches pretty good. Should I put it on or stick it in the back of the garage?

My gf bought me wheels. I liked them at first, now I don't know. Should I put these wheels on or not?? Heck, she could've got me pro-stars with ET Streets or some 22in wheels.

Pics please, could look good, could look bad.

Maybe use the little ones, like by the door handle. Unless you have white/silver guages, racing pedals, ect.

you realize your gf forked out like 230 clams for that right? At least thats how much I remember them being. And if you like it who cares what we think.

I personally do not care for them because they don't really match the theme of the interior. If you had done a lot more interior wise, such as door panel reupholstering, aftermarket seats, etc. that tied the blue int othe theme I would like it.

That being said, you have a good gf to get you car stuff for Valentine's Day. I wish mine would get me stuff for my car. It really isn't hideous, just somewhat out of place. That being said, I think you should put it in so your gf know's you appreciate it.

I personally think it looks extremely tacky, it doesn't go with the look of the interior at all. Although, it looks like your stuck with it if the GF bought it for you....
