I did a search and there seem to be a few threads about the blackwood. Personally, I am not too sure about it.

I personally like the kit ...for the price
I havent gotten around to installing the whole kit
due to time
I ve only installed the center console and it looks and fits great the only thing is that
you can see some of the wood underneath. but my quick fix is cutting up little strips of black electrical tape and putting it where you can see the wood .. now you cant even tell ...I have one of those friends that likes to point out little things to annoy me and he liked the kit

I have not installed the door inserts yet because I want to take the doors apart to take off the oem wood and then stick the blackwood kit to the oem inserts off of the door panels... then put it all back together.
maybe this weekend

Neither one of these links has to do with the Blackwood that Luxury Mods is selling. The first thread from Rominl is for the custom work several of us had done to the existing wood pieces. Basically dipping the existing wood to have a blackwood finish.

The second thread starts to talk about getting the pieces from the sportdesign model that had it, but the cost would of been well over $1000.

Not much info on LuxuryMods, unless there are others with more to share.

I bought mine from luxury mods. The center console fits perfect but the rest is awful. none of the door pieces fit. It's so bad the after I installed it I was embarassed that I would put something of such low quality on my GS. I can so you some pics anyhow thye are coming off the car when I get time. I would get the real thing, Dont waste your time and money.
