aero tect makes a clear 3M kit for our center consoles. i've had it now for about 3 months and it does help prevent scratches.

need more details pics of the kit fitment pls. btw, i wonder why they don't make a kit that would replace the existing pieces all together?

The Wood dash kit will not look good on the IS because of the bevel on the edges. I had it on my sc400 just around the gear shifter and it looked good. I DO NOT recommend it for the IS. I have bought several of these kits and some look pretty factory but for the most part they can cheapen the car. This wood dash kit is nothing like the kit on L-tuned it is a better quality and is real carbon fiber instead of glossy 3m stickers. You get what you pay for. As for me I will be ordering the L-tuned kit in black because it will look good and it will protect what I have for now and it is always reversible.

Does anyone know how hard it is to get the original panels off? If it is not too difficlut I would just as soon take them off every couple of years and repaint them. I did this in my C4 Corvette, it was easy and looked great.

Aloha
