Very good product as to quality , color and fit.
It’s good and fits perfectly to my model year Lexus. Not that difficult to install but needs a lot of weights to make sure the glue sticks well with lots of patience waiting for it to cure.

Can’t go wrong with this purchase!
I’m completely satisfied! Great value for money! Perfect color!Tips:-Watch every YouTube video DashSkin made-Read and follow the instructions.-Wear gloves. (I didn’t and have little cuts here and there on my hands. Noticed them when I used hand sanitizer).-Go ahead and buy tension/prop rods off Amazon. You WILL need them. Instructions say you need them and you do.-Be creative. I didn’t have a workbench so I used my trash & recycling bins covered with a blanket. See photosPros:-Excellent fit-Very light weight. Can be done by one person.-Easy install (just be sure to prepare with weights and prop stands)-Curing time is short. I left it overnight.-Plenty silicone was provided. I didn’t use an entire tube.Cons:- Prefer better expectations set of potential installation challenges.-Prefer more installation alternatives for tough areas i.e. the glove box area, the left of the steering wheel.(I ended up using clear, thick, two-sided tape I had on hand to hold these areas in place because my tension rod continued to slip in these areas due to weird angles).

The install instruction is USELESS and Wrong!
Update on 12/31/2022:One year and half later, the skin cover still looks good. The spots that had good amount of silicone adhesive still bind well with the dashboard. As I said in my initial review, it is critical that you apply enough silicone adhesive to those spots that have large gaps between the cover and the dash.I upgraded my rating from 3 to 4 stars after a year and half of use. I believe it is a good product but it does need to be installed correctly.Initial Review:I bought this several months ago and finally installed last week, after watching quite a few youtube videos, which are informative but did not shed any lights on the most critical aspects of the installation.My feeling on this product is mixed. If the cover is installed properly, it could mask LEXUS' MISTAKES nicely for the money. Or it would just look like another crappy aged version of LEXUS Dashboards.My installation key points:1. The product itself is pretty good. Surprisingly the cover fits the dashboard pretty well. It is a rigid product, yet flexible enough to be bent somewhat. With two persons holding it on each ends, you can bow the cover in the middle to facilitate the slide-in.2. Getting the skin cover to fit onto the dash, initially looked very daunting. But with two persons doing it. after a couple of dry runs, the whole thing was actually easier than it looks.3. Once you know exactly how to slide in the cover without the underside touching the dash, you can start clean the dashboard and the cover. I sprayed some Windex to both the dashboard and the inside of the cover.4. SILICONE ADHESIVE!!!!!!!!!DON'T LISTEN to the INSTRUCTION MANUAL on HOW MUCH silicone adhesive should be put on the cover. Whoever wrote the damn instructions probably had never installed one himself.I AM REALLY PISSED. It doesn't do you any good even if you had a good cover but could not install it properly because of the poor instructions!5. You SHOULDN'T APPLY A THIN BEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!During the dry runs, You should carefully look for the high and low spots of your cover and dash (along the edges) , and figure out how much silicone you should apply to each of those spots so those spots of the cover would have good contact with the dash. Thin bead throughout the whole cover WILL NOT bind the cover with the dash, especially those big gapped spots. I don't know why it would hurt to put on a lot more silicone adhesive. You can always wipe and clean out the excess.6. Since initially I had listened to the wrong instructions, many spots did not bind to the dash at all. With those spots that I still had access, I went back and put a lot more silicone in those areas. Now those spots have bonded well with the dash.7. Beside using a lot of cardboard pieces, I also used many 2-lb, 5-lb, 10-lb, 20-lb bags of beans or rice to press the cover down. I did not have good luck with mask tapes. Instead I used some shipping tapes, but still taping just didn't work well enough for me. I left the weights on overnight.Final Conclusion.With Lexus not going to fix their mistakes of using the wrong materials for the dashboards (I didn't receive the recall letter), you really don't have that many good choices. This skin cover is not a bad one, even though the instructions suck. I am really not sure how long the bonding between the cover and dash is going to last. Even without the silicone, the cover does not come off easily.

Best choice available
Just about every Lexus of this era has a sticky, cracking, and deteriorating dashboard. It's so ugly and most covers look pretty terrible or don't cover all the damage. The only area it doesn't cover completely is the passenger side air bag. Lucky for me that area on my dash is still in good shape. It came packaged well and damage free. The instructions were surprisingly good and I found the two tubes of silicone to be plenty. Installing was pretty easy as a two person job. Snaking the cover through the steering wheel was the most difficult part. Tape your left and right pillars as instructed because you will likely hit them during installation and they scratch easily. The edges of this cover are a bit sharp. Fit up is as good as you could expect really. Color match isn't quite perfect but it's very close. The textured grain finish isn't quite the same as the original dash but again it's close enough. Visually it looks really good and a whole lot better than the original damaged dashboard. I recommend this dash cover. It seems to be the best choice available.

Brand new dashboard
I have an older Lexus RX350. The car is in brand new condition other than the dashboard started to disintegrate. I was trying to figure out a solution to the problem and stumbled across this product on Amazon. Probably the best purchase I ever made online. My car looks brand new again. The dashboard damage was really bothering me in this has solved that problem. The dash skin fits perfectly! You would never even know that it's not the original dashboard. highly recommend this product and the company. They answered several questions that I had upon receipt and were extremely helpful.

Good fit, needs reasonable amount of glue
Good fit. I found it was necessary to apply a bead of glue the size of a cigarette, then spread it with my plastic-gloved finger, in order for the skin to adhere to the underlying dashboard.

Definitely Recommend!! Major improvement!
This is a great product. I was very skeptical and I did a lot of reading and product reviews before I purchased this product. This one had the best reviews and the most pictures loaded, which were very helpful. This was a pretty effortless installation. The skin fits really well in the car, and improved the appearance of the interior! Glue sticks well, no issues, Was also packaged very well when it came in the mail.
