I clicked the installation link and found the kit on http://www.exoticwoodtrim.com/customer/home.php is cheaper. Huh? Anyway, like you said it "is a lot of silver", but the more I look at the pics, the more I like it.

i don't like it.... b/c my cousin has that trim on his honda accord, it looks really fake and cheap looking, and i wouldn't want to deface a TL with that... from a distance it does look ok, but when u sit in your car, it looks like some shiny reflective backing with about a lil more than a 1/8th of an inch of this clear rounded protective covering, which makes it look strange IMO.... but if u like it it's up to u.....

A lot cheaper than OEM......Good find! It does look good, and just out of curiosity, What would it look like with all carbon fibre? I wonder how come it's cheaper on the exoticwoodtrim site? The sample pictures has their name on it.

Looks like sh-- in my opinion. Just goes to show that dressing up the interior and exterior of one's car is so subjective, right? Some will like this and some will not.

I fully agree with "cliff".. that people have every right to do as they please with their property with one reservation and that is this. Dressing up your car to some extreme (again, subjective I realize) may compromise your success in selling or trading it in should and when that time arrives. One should be aware of this if such a thing is important to the owner.

Don't waste ur money on this stuff it is just stickers that make it look somewhat like what it looks like in the pics. Don't waste ur money on it. i have seen real installed ones and it suxs it like peels off and stuff, and WHY would you want that to happen on ur nice new TL?????
"Unfortunately we do not have an actual installed picture, we post these picture to show you how it could look." aka. These pics are not of what u actually get
