Hey Lee,

Sorry for not replying earlier. No, I never tried the trim kit. I really did not like the idea that you just stick it on, you know what I mean? Also, on the center console/dash, the origional silver can still be seen on the sides. I want to take my XF to G.A.S. (Galpin Auto Sports) and see how much they would charge me to get the center console/dash plastic silver pieces done in brushed aluminum. I'll let you know how it goes. But that is my take on the Car Id trim kits. But look around and ask a few more people what they think. I know that someone on this forum got the wood trim kit for his XF and redid the whole interior, and he was very happy. Hope that helped haha.
