Looks nice! Yes, the woodgrain and spoiler are aftermarket. I like the spoiler, though, looks very 'stock'.

Can you tell if the woodgrain was put on top of the OEM woodgrain around the radio/climate control and the shifter OR were those pieces peeled off?

Not as much as pulling the dash out. It's like 4 wires. Easy. you do have to find a way to tap into one of the bigger harnesses behind the radio, but really, it's easy.

I hear the SWI-X is a pain, because it's 'universal' and you need to place an IR transmitter somewhere it can get to the radio, but the wired remote style was very easy to add while doing the rest of the system.

Thanks - it's good to know people still find/read that post! It was a long day doing the install, but well worth it.
