Default Cabernet Interior Trim Pieces

I stumbled onto these on Think Design's Facebook page and thought they looked pretty good:

The steering wheel and gear shifter and mouse pad are fine everything is a bit of a stretch I think.

I was watching Motorweek last night and the GS was named one of the best interior for 2013, to no suprise.

I think this would just kill it. Original is perfect as is.

I don't thik I would even do the hand rest. It reminds me too much of an old school car phone.

It's kind of like those aftermarket wood trim kits. They end up being too much. Less is more...

Am I the only one who thinks it doesn't look that bad???? If the GS was equipped this way from the factory... Would it have been a deal breaker for most if not all? Just curious. Ok... The carpet with the red piping doesn't help matters either, and the piece surrounding the audio and a/c buttons etc. although I still don't think it looks terrible... The carpet definitely looks like @&@$@ though.

The piece around the gauges looks okay, but the HVAC/radio control surround doesn't blend at all, and the steering wheel/shift **** is ugly IMHO.

I would not have bought a vehicle with that interior, no.

I kinda agree. I just hate the radio/hvac surround and the carpet (which I didn't even see last time! ). I do like the steering wheel and cluster piece though. Everything else is I really don't have a preference.

Agreed. Guage cluster piece is okay, but the rest are overkill. Cabernet is a beautiful color but a little goes a long way.
