The only thing is that its a 37 piece kit... not just the shifter plate, cup holder, ashtray, and 4 door covers....

This is a direct link for the IS350:

http://www.autoanything.com/dash-kits/75A4150A0A0A.aspx

Yes it is a 37-piece kit but I only used the pieces for the wood trim. The Carson CF kit looks better IMO but they're discontinued and for the price of this kit I'm satisfied.

ok thanks... I actually ran into this kit when googling about it...

http://www.wooddash.com/item/LEXUS_D..._IS250_2006_UP

says sherwood dash.... and its only the 8 pieces... But the only thing that is keeping me from buying it is that it says "will not cover factory wood trim" ... Not sure what they mean by that...

^Okay I spent a minute in that site and it looks like the kit #1981 they're referring to as an alternative is the same 37-piece from autoanything. I'm not sure if that site has all the finishes...plus they're more expensive.

I wonder why it says the 8 piece kit won't cover the factory wood though...

Im going to call them later and find out...

I forgot to add that in my previous post, If you look at the link above, there are chrome strips on the sides of each piece that covers the wood trim. Well actually one for each door piece and two pieces each for the center wood trim and ashtray. The cf overlay doesn't fully cover the whole wood trim and the chrome strips cover the exposed parts on the sides. IIRC, the Carson kit covers the whole wood trim without these strips. Look at autoanything's diagram and parts list, you'll see the chrome strips I'm describing here.

Once again, I would've gone with the Carson kit if it was still available. But I really wanted to get rid of the look of the wood trim so I compromised with this kit.

Could you please post some pics of your CF overlay and the chrome strips?

Look at the right and left side of the center trim, those are the chrome strips:

Thanks, That actually looks really good. The only wood I can barley see is the cup holder cover... but it doesn't look too noticeable... Would match real nice with the F-Sport shift ****!
