Can The Wood Trim Kit Be Removed From The Gs300

BimmerJustin · July 21, 2008

looking at a used gs300 with the wood dash kit. Personally, i dont like it. Can it be removed to reveal the dash and gauge area as if it was never there or is the backing different from models that did not come with the trim.

im sure it can be but thats part of the luxury you buy the car for! i think they make kits you can put on top of it with different stuff (like black marble, carbon fiber,etc) but personally i wouldn't remove it! just my $0.02

Are you talking about the OEM wood or a dash kit that was added afterwards? IF OEM, removal is obviously possible. If a kit, then be careful as the surface underneath might be damaged from the adhesive. If you are lucky, then you will just need some adhesive remover. If not, you will have to replace the part underneath or cover it up with a different kit.

Typically, those 3M wood dash kits require you to use a solvent to adhere the wood onto the dash components. This in effect destroys the dash underneath but makes sure the wood sticks forever. You would have to buy new dash stuff. Best bet is EBAY or Billy's Used Lexus and Toyota Parts. Or maybe someone here wants the wood and would trade with you!
