I bought a wood grain dash kit off of Ebay. I watched it for a long time and finally decided to try it. I liked this kit because it was mainly just fir the dash. I looked at other kits but they came with a lot of other parts that I didn't want and they were a lot more expensive. I just wanted to do the dash and center consol.







I have to change the date on my camera!

That Looks very good, but I wonder why all of the dash kits I see have the right side cut short. It does not follow the line across the top all the way over to the right. Is this stuff pretty stiff? I guess it can't conform to the curves on that part. That's the main reason why I chose to paint mine.

You have to heat it up to soften it and make more flexable. I used a heat gun but a hair dryer would also work. You don't get a second chance when installing it. The 3M adhesive really sticks. The instructions were very simple.

The product is from BD Trims, dashboard kits.

When you first go on Ebay just type in dashboard kits at the top.

What color/wood type is this? It looks like some sort of burl wood to me. It looks great by the way!

I just wanted enough to dress up the interior, I didn't want to over do it.
