I have been seeing wood kits start to pop up, I wanted to get wood for around where the window controls are I hate the bare plastic.. but these kits have like 140 parts or something, for around everywhere ... anyone have the kit? They only had pic of the parts and no pic's on the car..........

I sent some emails for them to send me pics of the kit on the car but they never did.....
What do u guys think? If it ain't broke don't fix? I had a wood kit on my Lexus GS 400 and I actaully loved it.....

The clear coat cover wook kit is very soft. You can leave your finger nail imprint on it. It takes a few months to be hardened.

I'd not buy it again.

Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean that the trim pieces get hardened over time? I would think that these trim pieces are well cured by the time they are installed.
