Thank you all for the responses. I think going with the Luxury package will be our best bet. It is going to be my wife's car and I could mod it with springs if need be.

Will keep everyone posted, we are going to drive a G and IS tomorrow.

It was on a GB from Carson's earlier this year. Doesn't look like they stock it any longer.

Good luck!

I hope you enjoy and learn as much as you can from both rides...

Is the one you show in your pics the black color? They look really good. I wonder what happened and why they are not selling them anymore?

Because they were just taped over the original trim. I test fitted over my wood finish and although the fit was probably as good as you could probably get, it still didn't look quite right. The manufacturer even supplies black tape to cover up the areas that otherwise show.

I guess it's all about perception, to me the "wood" trim is cheap and cheesy. It's not real wood, it's plastic painted to look like wood.

No, you're wrong, it's real wood (veneer). Admit it looks a bit plasticky due to the clearcoat & polished finish.

Yup agree.....I got the sport package mostly for the lack of wood....
