Wooden dash kit...

Looking into a wooden dash kit as an interior option.
Came across these two sites that offer the upgrade.
Any thoughts or insight appreciated...

cant tell but is that real wood or just a vinyl wrap on the first link. The second link cant tell what they are even selling. Also just wondering how do they get the radio overlay to stay on. But pretty cool idea. someone one NAM already had this done with some searching you can find him and ask him all sorts of questions.

It looks kinda cheap. Something that would look "OK" for a while and then peal off or fade.

If your thinking about wood, how about trying something custom like veneer? Use real wood, sand it and stain it. Just a thought. I would pass on the peal and stick "wood".

You might want to contact Peter of minspeed.net, I think he had 1 or 2 sets of wood dash kits and was having a sale on them.
