Default Wood Trim Kits Yes or No

The LS400 is a beautiful car. It absolutely owns the road. In my opinion only exotics can compete... Did anyone install (pics please) the wood trim kit on their LS???? I would luv 2 do this only if the pieces look lexus quality??? If u have the navigation option with a wood kit I would luv 2 see those pics.....All feed back about the kits would be greatly appreciated......LS Rulz!!!!!!!!!!!

I would say no. Wood kits dont last very long... they fade, and feel off after time.

Too bad they are not of a higher quality. I have seen kits on the LS and GS and they look fantastic. However, if they fade and eventually peel off who would want to manage that

I think that was a rather broad-brush statement that doesn't always hold true. I've seen some quite attractive, tasteful aftermarket wood kits on Lexus vehicles that still look OEM 7 years later.

I am sure there are some decent kits out there - the ones I have seen for the GS and LS looked great in person but they were not old - maybe one year and they looked good. Maybe some old timers here have ideas of the good ones.
