Any experience w/ dash kits from alkaplus?
#1
their prices look decent, but am interested in any clublexus testimonials. I called about the brushed aluminum kit, and they said that it would have to be a custom order and there are no returns. They also claim to match the factory wood on the SC300s. What kind of wood is it anyways on the factory setup?

search for it, i'm pretty sure someone said they did and they were happy with it
i'm about to get their aluminum kit and i talked with them about extra pieces, they said they'd get me the door trim panels if i gave them measurements of it, etc for an extra $20 bucks?
if you're going for wood then i don't know

what year/model lexus you doing this for? How much total did they quote you? They advertise their wood kits on ebay for about $120. I'd be interested in your reviews when you get the kit.

well it looks like the wood kit on ebay is missing a few pieces, but i'm just going by the $150 plus $20 for the extra parts... i doubt it's exact, but i'm guessing total might be around $200 with shipping and all
i'm definitely getting it, so if you want to wait around about 2 weeks? i'll let you know how it goes

I found two links to websites also offering a kit for SC's. They both say they match OEM wood. Just wondering if anyone knows them, or if there's any reason not to buy from them?

hey i have the brushed aluminum kit, i like it.
its not real metal but i like that better. its got a clear coat on it so its thick but i think it matches better.

What type of wood is that in my 93 SC400?
Did all of the models ship with the same type of wood? What is is called? Is it the synthetic light burlwood? I may seem like a bit of a moron on this, but I am 1000 miles away from my car and can't go look at it...
The light burlwood at "bittrim" looks right.

Hey Lxxxs
let me know what pieces you have and for how much. I may be interested. The lady at Alkaplus told me it was genuine brushed aluminum though. Anyways, if you could post pics, that'd be great. BTW, I have an automatic.

I've got the LegendFive.com kit on mine, the synthetic brushed aluminum. They didn't offer the real aluminum kit for the SC tho. It came with ALL pieces, doors, domelight, everything. Only piece that didn't fit was the cupholder lid, but they got me a new one right away.
It looks great! I actually pulled off the piece that it on the outside edge of the stereo stuff....I like it better without that one piece.
