just wanted to give u guys a peek at what im planning on puttin over my faux wood .....

 

hey where in cali are you from? Once you get that on id like to see it.

 

Hey man make sure that you get pics up as soon as you get those on, I was debating whether i should try and look for those but i was kinda skeptical on how they would look

 

hmmm, I wonder how that will look. I like the wood look so much.

 

where and how much?

 

How thick is it?...cuz from the pic it looks really thin.

 

thin is good so it's good and flexible. to thick and it would jut out and look like blah. still....finished product as of yet?? inquiring minds would like to know.

 

didn't have time to check out the forum until tonight, umm and no its not a finished item as of yet i probably wont be putting it on for a lil while actually, its been sitting there for like 5 months already im just waiting for the rest of my orders to come in to i can finish up my vision per say. its about the thickness of two cd's give or take. was actually first thing i bought for TL back in december of last yr. bought at woodtrim.com, i checked today and they dont seem to carry it anymore for the 1st gen you guys will be the first to c it once i glue that puppy on there. just wanted to share it in case none of you had seen one before.

 

I think it would look great as a factory option INSTEAD of the current wood trim. I have yet to see an add-on wood trim that looks good enough to put on my car. You can always see the orginal trim around the edges, and it always sits so high. I am sure it will look good though, I just couldn't bring myself to do it on my car. I WOULD consider having all the trim cstom painted to have an aluminum look, THAT would be sick! .... Hmmmm......

 

Plus I just noticed there's no spot for my seat heater switches!! No cutout there!!! :P

 

I bought the same trim as you did. I got it off of eBay about a year ago.

It looked really nice, except for the fact that the part around the radio wasn't wide enough (you could still see the wood very clearly.) And it just didn't seem to 'wrap' around the wood properly. I hope you install it and it looks good. I just know it's been sitting in the same box for a looong time now.

Goodluck

 

Dont play us like that...post some install pix stat. I dont like aluminum on light leather, but ill wait to see before I express my opinion.

 

would NEVER put this kit if i had beige/tan interior. i have a charcoal interior, hence i got this kit

 

So how long is it until you get it installed?

If it fits well I think it will look very nice with the dark interior.

Good luck with it.

 

This thread is kind of a teaser, please put it on post haste, and take some pics!

 

LOL! im sorry fellas i didnt mean to be a tease tha wasnt my intention at all. just wanted you guys to check out the kit which i hadn't shown to anybody yet. like i said before as soon as i get it on i will post pics galore. but i do have to warn you it will probably be a couple of months before i do that no flames please

 

I took some mockup pics of the dash kit in my TL. I didnt' want to stick it on before seeing what it looked like first.

I'm at work atm, so i'll see if i still have some pictures of it when I get home.

EDIT

I have a beige interior btw.
