Hey,
Sorry about being terse before, I was on my way out.
If you are getting a body shop to do the painting on your interior, then you will get a better look than the stick on kind. s for maintenence, you have to stick with soap and water, and maybe even wax it.
There are 3 types of stick-ons with sub categories. Wood, plastic, metal. Of course there is wood looking plastic. And metal looking plastic. The ones by torasport for example are thick acrylic which is held on by super duty 3m tape. Thats some strong tape. Take a look at their site and see what the different colors look like on assorted things.
When the dash kit is moulded and covers the edges so none of the original seeps through, the in my opinion it doesn't matter what its made of. It looks good and is durable. $200 is for the assorted moulds that theyhave to create and inject to get the piece for your car. THink about it there are 500 cars that they do ieach with 10 parts.

P.S. I don't want a wood interior even though those are 'the best. I want either a dark blue trim ot match my 'theme' or brushed aluminum. I am at a draw as to which. Here is an example of the dark blue:
It also comes in a dark blue carbon fibre, but that may be too gimmicky. If only they had my exterior color...
