Nope.

I'm sure the craftsmanship is great, but it looks totally out of place to me.

It's cool. I'm thinking I'd like it better with darker wood.

as we all know that our tl dont come with an RCA wire behind our head unit. as you can see this little block it is a stinger line output converter. it converts reg speaker wires into RCA so you can install them into your amp. as i had no more use of my bass subwoofer since it was making some weird noise i decided to cut into that wiring. positive to positive negative to negative. after you connect the wiring remember to heat shrink everything it adds more safety and peace of mind.

after you finish all the connections to this loc. your also going to need a remote turn off. " this turns off your amp when your cars off". its either you wire up a switch to manually turn it off.. or you can wire one end of the wiring "red" into the positive of the factory wiring"blue" and into the REM, located on your amp like i did.

It's not my favorite thing but not awful either. I'm just relieved, I thought the entire floor of the car was getting hardwood.

alright heres something new. enough of the trunk. still need my plexi glass and a few other stuff. i ordered a bass knob, a switch so i can rewire my fogs into, and also a voltage gauge. i bought a piece of abs and used gorilla glue. after it dried i mocked everything up and cut it in the placement. then comes the bondo.

You should uninstall the switch and bass adjustment knob from the panel. You won't be able to get a good smooth surface on it with those components in place. The gauge cup should be able to stay. The major problem from the components being in place is when you go to paint the panel.
Good luck
