I know several others will disagree with my opinion on this, but the ones I got didnt fit right and peeled on the edges within a year. I ended up ripping them off and replacing with dipped parts. Look so much better, but do cost quite a bit more.
But then, if you are into a wood grain finish, im looking at parting with mine at the moment (in perfect condition). The brown doesnt work with my new GPvR blue seats
Can post piccies if anyone interested

Have seen dstocks woodgrain dash, looks great would ask him about it if I was looking at something like that.

Hey.
I bought the silver finish dash trim kit. yeh they are just stickers.
Gave me a bit of a shock when i received a parcel that was barely an inch
thick lol.
Quality wise the pieces around the door area look really good. However it didn't fit properly around the gear surround and the piece that goes on top of the dash is cracked so i'm taking it off soon. I didn't even bother
with the bit for the steering wheel cos it looks wanky and stupid.
All in all i reckon its a good alternative to painting or replacing as it costs
less, you can always take it off if your going to sell the car and with
minor adjustments to some of the stickers it can look good.

there's another version of the dash kit thats similar on ebay that claims its 3mm thick... but seems to use the same templates. anyone bought that one?

the standard stickers are about 3mm thick.
i'm guessing it's the same as all the other sticker kits.

To me those dash stickers look so cheap and it makes the interior looks like lego.
You might save some money by using these, but most people impression on them aren't exactly positive. After you had it on for a while the sticky recedure would be a bit*ch to remove.
