OK, someone needs to install a kit and tell us how it looks!

You can get samples of the kit material => http://www.carid.com/wood-grain-dash-samples/

Also, a call to CARiD might be in order to see if the kit covers up existing lettering, or if the kit has lettering on the various pieces.

Looks great. Now if they could cover those graphics on the Volt's car doors.

I wonder how the center console piece works with the touch sensitive buttons? Is there a hole for each button, or is the car supposed to read through the wood?

I actually like the door graphics, though I know some do not.

The "wood" peel and stick reminds me of a Buick. I 'stick" with the OEM finish. But I would like to see some photos of a Volt with the plastic sheets applied.

They also have the External Kit..

Id be interested in Real Carbon fiber for both....

For the Interior kit I have doubts that they have tested this kit with the dash, very much doubt any of the touch sensitive stuff will work, therefore that piece of the kit couldn't be installed.

I don't like the door graphics. My dealer says that's common - and that the parts dept will be stocking non-leafy panels soon. At my cost, of course.

There is a dealer on eBay already selling them;

They door graphics are not bad, if you are looking for a young sporty look. I am not crazy about the solid shiny look either since I would prefer a more refined look. Anyway with that said, it won't stop me from buying a Volt because I think it is a great car.

I've worked with a few of these and please order a sample before you buy.
Many of these trim kits have a plastic coating the thickness of a couple of quarters.
They can look good but close up they look and feel cheap...IMHO
