I'm pretty sure that's not a replacement, but a 3M vinyl that goes over the existing kit. I too would like to see a finished product. I hate the wood and saw a Gen I stainless kit.
 
Quick and another guy here in MN, he hasnt been on in a long time though, jk##### or something... 15798 or something like that. It actually looked really good for just stick over covers
 
Real American Walnut Burl wood stick on like what Ken sells on lskoncepts.com

There are soooo many dash kits out for the ls...just search "lincoln ls dash kit" in google and you'll find a variety of kits - everything from diff style woods to carbon fiber, to silver, etc. I guess I'm one of the few people on here who kinda likes the "wood" look.

Anyway, I was checking out this site:
http://www.carid.com/product.php?productid=34178&cat=1579&page=1
I was looking at the wood types and apparently 03 and up lses have real american walnut burlwood....However, the Real Walnut Burl (RWBW) on that site looks way too light. The wood in my car looks much darker - more like the Medium Burl (SMBW).

Obviously I'm looking to match what already exists in my car, so I don't have all kindsa different wood types/colors. Anyone know which type/style wood would match the interior the best? I'm very confused at this point. Also, notice you can even get real wood on that site instead of simulated.

Oh..and I just checked lskoncepts.com and see one of their options is "factory wood match" - guess that makes it easier haha
 
Not diggin the steering wheel cover wimmer :( throws off the interior of the car...

That is cheaper then what I paid 4 years ago.

Steering wheel cover because the OEM was sun cracked in 3 years, and I prefer the thicker leather grip as much as I like wood, the OEM wood steering wheel is too hot in the summer in Reno, it is more of a function over style thing.
 
i took my woodgrain and covered it with fabric, looks waaaay nicer and much more high end classy than wood or vinyl. woodgrain eewwwww
 
My opinion they look cheap and like garbage. I have seen them in a few cars can't stand that look.
 
havent seen them in real person so not sure didnt want to buy if they look fake and not factory
 
They never look factory, But just go look at some used luxury cars. Alot of people end up adding the kit, I see them added to alot of the 2000-05 acura tl's. But I have seen them in few LS's also on the lots.
 
Fake wood grain over the silver plastic looks bad no matter how you slice it. Maybe painting the silver a nice flat black then applying the wood grain might look better, but the silver peeking out really shows how fake it is.
 
+1 to NYC's response. If you search either here or CarDomain for the LS pics, you can see some that have the kit, and will clearly see the silver peeking through on the edges.

That'd be a deal-killer for me. I like the walnut trim, but it's gotta be clean looking to have it in there.

Sorry for doing this, but I have a question on the top panel, in the middle of the console. It is the one that has the 2 vents, and the "fuel/reset/setup/status" buttons in it.

How does it come off? Are these stuck on with clips? Will those "Christmas tree" clip tools remove these? A plastic wedge, with some prying force???

My buttons pushed into the panel, and I cant get them back flush, without taking this piece out completely.
 
Garbone - wow, I'll give you credit for wanting to make sure someone gets to this for you.

Hopefully you've got it off by now and all is well.

Good luck,

TRU
 
Garbone- It just pops out. It's got tabs in each corner IIRC. My buttons just pushed in like that 2 weeks ago, and I had to glue them back on.
 
Yeah, I replied to Garbone for this on a different thread. He posted the same question in about 3 or 4 threads to try and make sure someone responded to it.

I think we got him covered. Hopefully he's on the other side now.

- Go into the light..... all are welcome in the light.....

I also had to glue my buttons on couple weeks ago. is about the only way to hold them on another than buying a new vent piece:) :eek:
 
Hey gcwimmer, you got any close up pics of your dash kit? Can you see the silver from under the kit peeking out - at the corners? In your pic from the back seat, I can't really see much silver.
 
Go out and get some of the stainless steel paint for home decor. I found it at Wal-Mart.

IMO, the LS has the perfect amount of wood trim as is in stock form. If you want more and have the sport just swap out the wheel and knob for the basic model with wood trim. Thats what I did and it made the wood trim so much more presentable. Since when is wood trim in a Luxury car not appealing and not classy? I can say when over done it looks like sh*t!


Other then that just paint the trim to a color of your liking. Any of those stick on things look like crap.


EDIT: For some extra cash there is also a few sites that you can send the trim out to and have something creative done. The tools and paint some of these guys use is way more than just a rattle can and in most cases is worth the extra money spent.

Its not worth squat if you don't do it with taste;)
