oakville_edge Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hi guys, So as I wait for my order, one of the things I asked the dealer if they could do was replace the wood grain panels on the front dash with the Silver ones from the SEL/SPORT. My first question is, are they decals are panels that can easily be changed? If they're not decals, anyone with a SEL want to trade panels in the Toronto, Ontario area?

Have you seen the wood in person? I am pleased with mine. They are dull and dark. Very classy. Unlike stuff I've seen in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike stuff I've seen in the past. I agree with Wilson. I wasn't sure about the wood beforehand. Once you see it, you'll want to keep it. Very classy.

oakville_edge Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yes I've seen the "wood". It just doesn't suit me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I have even grown to like it. doesn't look cheesy - probably still wouldn't pick it, but not big on doing Mod's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Not to "dis" the MKX but I think that gold dash trim is pretty cheesy. I like the Edge dash much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bman1383 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yes I've seen the "wood". It just doesn't suit me. I agree - The silver that matches the trim would look waayyyy better! Would also be interested to know if there's anything out there to cover that up! They also had to throw that ugly "wood" paneling around the dash too - whatta shame!

igcitng Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 If you google dash kits there are a bunch of places to get different colors and different metals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samskudd Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I kinda like the wood, too bad you just can't comve over and we can trade paneling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl-z Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Not to "dis" the MKX but I think that gold dash trim is pretty cheesy. I like the Edge dash much better There's no gold trim in my MKX nor any other that I'm aware of. The dash/door panels are a weave aluminum in the base, real wood walnut or ash in the mid-level and a special aluminum in the Limited. Personally I find even real wood trim in a vehicle looks terribly dated and avoid it if at all possible. The plasti-wood on the Edge is a good implementation compared to plasti-wood trim in some other vehicles but that's the only good thing I can say about it.

The pictures I've seen of the MKX console looks like it is gold. or gold/brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1duFos Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Don't like the wood paneling when I first saw it, Might look better if it was a bit more shinny. Looks cheap to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imsawma review of a new Lexus this weekend. To my surprise, it had the same dash (right side) as the Edge limited. One horizontal strip of dull wood.

Biggun Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Updating thread - has anyone figured out how to remove the wood panels. I plan to wrap with textured carbon fiber wrap. I think it will sport it up which is my plan. I not a big fan of cheesy mods so we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
