Yeah, at one point I was seriously considering the RKSport kit. But at $500-ish bucks, there was no way.

I was told by the rep no sooner than 4-5 years - depends on amount of direct, sunlight for extended durations. But I was told by another owner that he's had his pieces longer and they're still great looking!

This is definitely on my list of things to do... Looks amazing!

Hey, Cobrahunter, can he do underhood pieces as well, like the lower airbox? I think that would look very good as well.

Not to go off topic but the blue light in one of the pics, is that your maplights? If so LED?

I believe so. Haven't asked about this, but their website does show lots of engine pieces.

All my interior (mood) lighting are UV LED flex strips.
Here's an example of green

redbeauty2012: what are those leds like? installation? brightness? where to get them?
They were a snap to install. They come pre-wired; I just needed to solder them into my car's interior wiring. I powered them all off of the rear dome light. They're pretty bright. Obviously, the UV LEDs aren't as bright as the red or white ones. This is the place I get mine from http://www.oznium.com/flexible-led-strips

Here are some pics:









and no....the lights are not pink! Hard to take pics of UV in the dark.

$500...? I'm looking at RKSport & they are saying $195....

haha yea I got the blue LED strips also. but it was from a different website off of Ebay.com. looks great. but the back of the strip was some kind of plastic that DID NOT LIKE ANY TYPE OF CLUE.... I mean I tried ever type of clue made & it would not stick to ****. so I just tucked them into my car. I'll post up pics.

$195....

These are the crappy sticker-things I was talking about. These are not molded pieces. I didn't want something that you peeled and then stuck on my interior trim.

For example: the following kit I've seen for $118.00



The sticker things look way too cheesy.
* the speedo sticker just covers the lower portion
* the center console sticker just covers the top portion
* the radio bezel stickers just cover the sides
* and the most ghetto of all - the randomly placed sticker on the glove box and arm rests
