Hey C.L! I just got my 2001 gs300 like 1 week ago. Its a really nice car but there is 1 thing, it has a lot of wood grain [the fake kind]. Im kinda not feelin it. Should I take it off or leave it on? Give me ur opinion.
Thx C.L

If it's a kit, taking it off is a PITA but can be done (use chemicals sparingly as you run the risk of damaging the leather if you get it on there too much). If it's the factory trim, I say leave it.

YMMV, though. If it wasn't put on that well, and it sounds like it wasn't, it might be a bit easier for you.Good luck, mang!

Remove.. I think those kits look cheesy.. there is even too much wood from the factory but the kits.. ewww.
I wish Lexus had a sportline interior that we could get. It would be like where our factory wood is but be aluminum or the dark dark black wood grain..

I agree that the kits look bad, way overdone.Get it off ASAP!
I like the factory wood myself but if you don't care for that refinishing is always an option.
Jake, I've seen blackwood trim on the GS, (I believe they're replacement pieces rather than a glue-on kit, maybe JDM???) IMO it looks great with a black interior. I'm not sure where you can find the pieces but I'm sure a search would give you a good start if that's something you'd be interested in.

Plus I have the wood steering wheel. Its all or nothing on the wood as its a very high contrast between the blackwood and cherry I have...
