Speaking of which, actually I work for one of the aftermarket accessories companies which specializes in dash trim enhancements. Anyway, if anyone is interested I can sell one of the two attached kits, I can make it in a variety of wood patterns, real carbon fiber colors, brushed aluminum, modern colors, and for the transmission piece, I can try to manufacture out of real stainless steel (only the top part). I also have access to door pillars and such. Basically those are flat pieces with 3M tape backing, actual layer of wood/carbon fiber material, and coated with polyurethane coating for nice 3D effect plus it acts as UV protection, thickness shouldn't be more than 1/8 of inch.
EDIT: Currently I don't have a picture of the actual Outlander pieces installed but I do have a picture of one of Mercedes kits in real barbon fiber pattern just to give an idea how the product looks like (mercedessample.jpg). Since Outlanders dash is fairly flat, it should look good. Best part about all of it is that it doesn't require any tools or removal of the dash, you just remove the tape and stick it on the corresponding area, it doesn't replace but goes over the piece.
