I ordered the black kit to go with my black interior. I think the standard dark gray look of carbon fiber means 'business and performance' whereas the silver color is a bit more stylish. Nothing wrong with either one, just depends on your taste.

the first photo one is the sliver trim in my car,

the second photo is the ISF,

the only differences is the metal brace around the sliver trim is ISF

I got a couple of questions I hope someone can answer. If you decide to remove this kit some time later, is it easy to do? Can the adhesive damage the stock wood trim?

i am not sure, but i reckon 3M tapes will do a good job because i had use them before for those tom's eyelid in IS300 times.

after 1 and half year i dont found they stick or damage my headlight.

I'd rather replace those silver insert thingy's next to the console first. Too bad they don't come with the kit... If it did I might consider it. Or, if PM me if you know where to get it =P

I have Cashmere, so White/Black should both be ok. Black > While. Gray > Black. IMO

plz plz plz post a picture of this combo.... i think black on black should look sophisticated... kinda like BMW's black wood trim and Mercedes’ black aluminum.

Having that said, silver looks beautiful on light colors... it's just a matter of taste and preference, if you are after a sporty look then go with contrast and if you are after a more subtle look then make the whole interior flow and avoid contrast... that's just my opinion though
