I've got it and everyone who sees it in person always says they like it. I've also added black OEM floormats. I like the look and believe me after trying to clean the parchment mats you'll be thinking about getting a set of blacks. The TSX looks good with either the brushed metal or the faux wood - It's a matter of taste and preference. It's nice to have a choice.

I don't like it Lito. I think you should leave it alone. I know it's hard to do though. You're like me and a lot of others on the board. We're always looking for another mod

...Sometimes keeping things simple can go a long way. That's what I keep trying to tell myself anyway

Correction on comment

I didn't notice that it wasn't the TSX OEM kit. I took too quick of a looksee.

Man that is way too much faux wood. If you're interested check out the OEM kit. It's much more understated and keeps the black theme. The center/radio portion in you pic is way bad and I mean bad. That after market stuff looks gawdy and unbalanced - yuk!

The wood is ok, I hate the CF though. The wood is a little too much however, I'd stick w/ the black

I think the wood looks the best out of all those. However, I liked your idea of replacing just the area that has wood in the car now to aluminum. Because the steering wheel controls don't match anyway and I think that would look good but not overdone.

I'm not feeling the light wood or the carbon fiber. I've looked at several different styles. I have a SSM with ebony interior. I think I'm going with a glossy black dash kit, and door trim around the handles and speakers. I'll leave the aluminum trim alone. When ever I do get it, be sure I'll post pick up.

If anyone has PhotoShop and is willing to make a sample pic I'd appreciate it.

I have a NBP with ebony interior and it came with the metal trim kit since i got the car used. I like it a lot. I have to admit though, it makes the interior a little more "flashy", which i dont mind.

I think the wood would only look good with the parchment interior and the CF trim would only look good if everything else in ur car was CF.

I like the wood if you left a couple of the pieces off (glove compartment, etc). Its different. Everybody and their grandmother goes after the carbon fiber stuff, metal is not to bad. Ultimately, its your car and you are the one who will live with it day in, day out, so your opinion is the one that matters.

leave off the navi screen wrap and glove box, it will look good. i have oem and i love it. it is only the 9 pieces - 4 doors, 3 center pieces under radio, and 2 middle console (around shifter and cupholder). that's it and understated. imagine it
