For the most part the cheaper kits have fewer pieces, while the expensive ones have more. It really depends on if you want just a few pieces of trim or if you want basically every part covered by wood. I bought a cheap $90 kit for my old car and it looked good, and held on well.

Do you mean wood grain or carbon fiber?

They're are alot of different styles of wood grain trims, personally I really like them, it gives the car a more luxury feel to it. Carbon fiber would look kinda cheesy on the inside of a Camry.

As for what kind of wood grain, I would go with a light to medium shade, nothing too dark or else it may really contrast with the rest of the interior, and just doesnt look as good. I made this mistake on my other car, but it still looks good.

They arent really stickers, because they are pretty thick and have a certain texture to it, but you do stick them to the existing material. The pieces come with 3M adhesive tape already applied.

ive been asking around about this for a while and cant seem to find anything the quality that i want. i have an 06 se and all i want is the center dash (around the radio) and the two air vents to be brushed aluminum to match the existing factory aluminum trim. i really want replacement pieces. i.e. no sticking on but actually part replacements. i dont think they exist. if they do i havent found them. or a very high quality add on, because the center part would have to go into the dash where the temp guage and clock are. otherwise it would be super obvious its a aftermarket add on.....
