^

The only thing I would get would be the steering wheel. I wish they had a shift ****. Cant seem to find one anywhere that is all wood that looks good with the GS. I dont care for the OEM wood **** with the leather on it. I think an all wood one would look better with the car


EDIT: I am sure Nigel can get them for you

PS I am going to borrow your sig pic I really like it and looks just like my car (LOL)

My GS rattles enough, if I changed out those parts I could just imagine what it would sound like.

all those parts are nasty. there is such a thing as too much wood

fake wood, scattered about in all the wrong places. breaks the continuity of the blackness

just look


besides, this looks like JDM only. all the trim fits right hand drive only.

if you like it...........



i've seen worse. like that nasty tacky stick-on fakewood trim.

the best use of wood trim is in nice large slabs. like these....
they're not necessarily good looking, but they're not separated into tiny bits of trim on the left right and top.
