I have to agree....if there would be an improvement, that would be it...
satin finish would make it look even more like real-real wood....but....???

I'm re-addressing my last response to you even though I still think that
a satin finish would look really good.....here's why...

I traded in a loaded, ($34k when new), pristine Acura TSX....which had
the factory wood trim applique for the dash, console, and doors.....it
was no less shiny than this kit I just installed on my GXP....so you might
be waiting a long time for the satin finish kits?? Time will tell huh?

I really don't expect to find one. I do think your dash kit is one of the better looking ones...and yes even factory wood trim now has the glossy finish in even the more expensive new cars. Probably why the dash "kits" aren't offered in anything but gloss today. I just remember years ago when "real" wood dashes had a satin look that I prefer....and if that option was available..I would buy.
