I can see some people might like it but it's not for me

Dislike. It just clashes with the interior of the car IMO, but it's your car. If you like it, then get it.

I despise the honey burl but could probably live with some of the other colors shown here:

It's overkill, I know. Too many pieces but the single Lexus piece is too little, IMO. For the price, I'm thinking pick and chose and apply a few. Too bad about the color I agree.

Good link, rise&demise. Much better color selection and the panel fits the nav option.

those kit parts must be stitched with 3M double sided tape on interior panels

it's useless, imho.

Could just get 3M double sided tape yourself, depending on your 3M'ing skills.

doesn't look good at all...

I thought about this option but decided against it. Maybe it's just me but the wood grain has an old school feel to it. Something like in a Lincoln or Cadillac. I have the black interior with the silver accents. Also I didn't want to start with a lot of sticky tape that would be impossible to remove or leave a residue behind. Sometimes less is more.

I couldn't agree more. What came with my car (the same as above) looks just fine. I would not want to change it.

I installed a real walnut burl wood trim kit from CarID.com, would post pictures when I get the chance to. It's really thin veneer, real wood, with lots and lots of urethane topcoat. I didn't install most of the pieces that were included in the kit. Some were as wild as covering the aircon vents and Lexus steering wheel logo.

As always, moderation is key

I would be interested in seeing the pics.....I think installing some of the pieces would give a great look without being overwhelming. The price is decent, compared to what Lexus charges for just the one piece over the glove box.
