Don't do it. No aftermarket trim kits fit like oem.

I had the dealer install the oem trim kit when I bought the car. I don't notice the trim at all, but when I got into nother 7th gen it really looked strange with all that plain plastic.

Not sure about aftermarket kits, but there is alot of stuff the oem kit doesn't cover.

In short I am glad I bought my kit, but I am wanting more parts to cover up all the rest of the plain plastic.

Those on ebay are not true aluminum though. I know because two of my friends ordered theirs from ebay (for around $110). It's synthethic aluminum with a THICK @$$ layer of clear coat. It's too thick.

Not sure about exotic wood trim though. Looks like synthethic aluminum too... someone correct me if im wrong.
