Nice console you have there.

What type of floor mats are you using? They look like heavy duty vinyl? Or am I blind and those are OEM carpets?

Ryan,

Why didn't you match the existing wood dash. Also, did you cut the bottom of the stereo piece or didit come chopped like that?

I think he did get matching wood, but its just the with age the old stock wood or in Ryans case, the stock faux wood changes colour and fades.

Bizzy,

My car is older than his and still matches. I think he might have ordered it that way?? I guess that is why I asked....

The wood in the SC isn't 'faux', it's real dude, Bird's Eye Maple on all the early and middle years....

That's a nice wood kit. I have one but it covers the radio and buttons. As a result, some buttons stick once and a while. But, since i changed my interior I'm actually replacing the wood with CF.

WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO REMOVE A KIT AFTER IT HAS BEEN INSTALLED??????

Nice kit again, where did you get it??????I would be interested in looking into a CF kit from the place you got your wood from.

Lex, you are correct, but I believe that only applies for sc400s. If I recall correctly, the sc300's had faux wood.

Don't worry about it PCMW.. I guess i've been exposed to many (thankfully not mine) untinted sc's that have taken a beating by the sun's UV rays.

All wood trim is the same between same year JDM and USDM models. The floor mats are vinyl too, btw...
