Question dash trim kits

hey guys, i've done a search but can't find any pics, has anyone got a woodview or other brand dash trim kit in their truck? I'm looking for silver / satin / brushed aluminum finish here, not wood or carbon fiber.

Looked at all of the kits available out there. Considering the Brown and Tan colors on my Lariat, I went with a Factory match wood kit. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like the look.

It all done with adhesive tape. You have to be very careful to dry fit everything first. Then prep all surfaces with alcohol wipes. Then use an adhesive promoter especially on surfaces with texture. I was about a 4 hour install. Also the ambient temperature should be 80 degrees or warmer.
This where I got mine:

I have the aluminum interior and will snap a few picures for you tonight if no one post anything before then. My buddy has the brushed aluminum kit and I think mine looks a little better ?? He has the tan interior and I have the Flint.

I'd be worried that over the years it is going to peel and look REALLY bad. How do you avoid that?

The key is in the prep work. Cleaning with alcohol and the adhesive promoter help ensure longevity. It has been exposed to freezing mountain temperatures in the winter and over 100 degree summer heat with no signs of lifting. I know this is not everyone's idea of how a truck interior should look, but it works for me and that's all that counts. To each his own. In my mind Ford did not do a good job with color coordinating the Lariat interior. They should have kept going with the wood look or eliminated it altogether.
Thanks for the feedback.
