There's no substitute for OEM wood trim.
These are stick on trim with a extremely thick clear polyurethane coating which looks too shiney and the edges are too rounded, and not make or cut perfectly the stock trim will still be visible at the edges.
There's hardly any information on their products on their website (it is simulated or real wood/carbon/metal trim) and the photos other than on the installed photos page are actually of OEM trim. So I should be weary.
Check out Joshua Wood Trim for quality real wood, metal and carbon trim. They have been around for a while and I have heard good things about them from a few car clubs/forums. www.woodtrim.com

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I'd have to see installed in a car. You wouldn't have to use every piece. If aowhaus is correct, and I think I know of the stuff he is talking about, it would be impossible to cover the door panel trims with this stuff.
Aowhaus, remember the factory B5 Passat wood trim in the GLX models. It wasn't that great either.

From the diagram it seems like more wood then the car comes with standard. I like to see more wood in mine too, but it would need to look OEM or forget it. No Black Birds Eye Maple either...
