Ok. I installed it. Look at pictures. All white spots you see are reflections, pieces are perfect.

Why not consider a nice looking brushed aluminum trim to go with the graphite interior? The posted pic of the Armada with the wood trim doesn't look too bad; looks like the burlwood in my Z3. Ford has woodgrain in their Lariat trim levels but it looks like something off of a Mr. Coffee machine from the 70's! I think the aluminum trim would look kinda cool in the Titan - tough looking to go with a tough truck!

Are there different kinds of overlays besides the wood grain? I'm guessing they have different types of simulated wood too right?

Wow, looks very good in my opinion. I wonder if those are laser cuts? They look very precise.
Nice job, cool mod.

Great work StvMLNJ. I can't wait to get mine.

Good job!! That looks great! Did you have any problem with paint coming off when you prepped ?

On bottom part (where cupholder and shifter are) paint was coming off. At first I coudn't understand why paper towel was getting dirty every time I swiped with alcohol, but then I noticed that plastic was changing color.
On the other hand, when I applied to front panel, paint is probably different and it was not coming off.

Did the overlays for the center console have printing on them for some of the items like the radio Volume and Tuning controls? Or did they etch around where the stock labeling is at on the original dash? Its hard to tell in your pics.

Also, I see the driver's door window controls also had the overlays... did they provide for the back doors as well in the kit?

Thanks,

Nope. There is no printing, just openings(laser cut) that perfectly match location for dash lettering.
Yes, they have overlays for back too,but Crew Cab only, also for whatever reason they include large piece for rear cupholder, although King Cab doesn't have it.

Yes, I like it a lot. That changed whole interior look. About challenges... Well I think it was easy, but with all warnings they put on label, such as "once it comes into contact with plastic it is virtually impossible to reposition it" etc. I had my hands shaken doing it, though one mistake and that is it. But in reality, you can reposition them a little, just need 1500 W hair dryer to warm it up enough. Beside it - no problems.
Again - be careful preping surface(around lettering), paint IS coming off.

You really introduced another level of luxury to your truck.

Very nice!!!

If they made a brushed aluminum kit, I'd be all over it.

Any feedback would be appreciated! I understand once your install these kits they are a ***** to remove...don't want to geto up the new truck! Thanks

Did you install the wood kit?

Thoughts?
