Dash kit??

[CROYCE992]

I am really thinking about getting a dash kit for my car. I have the tan colored interior which might be also called the "Oak" interior. As of right now, I was thinking about a dark wood dash kit.

-Does anybody have any pictures of their interior with any and all dash kits?
-What are your opinions regarding them?

Yay or nay



edit: I was thinking something like the "Japanese Cherry Wood" like in this listing:

My only advice is that DO NOT go for the thin vinyl one...

yah definitely not. I just saw those like a month back and was wondering why they were so cheap. I wanted it to look something like this:

If it you get that exact one like in that picture ^ I'd say go for it! That looks really clean.

if its your thing then i would say its good. i am pursuing a more subtle look that is trying to make most of my mods look like its OEM

[JJ9284]

Yeah I was thinking about the blue because it sort of matches with the car being that "grey blue" color I have But yeah I know what you mean with how your going with the OEM look. That probably wont help you to much then sorry

Go to a junkyard and find a camry with that OEM wood dash!

Then it will look absolutely flawless.

I don't think Toyota ever made wood DASH trim. Even that 2000 XLE I raped only had wood trim around the radio/ac, shifter... the dimmer/power mirror panel, door controls. That's it.

That one would look really good and elegant.

I submitted a best offer on a dash kit on eBay. hopefully the buyer takes my offer.. I want to get the darkest wood color that they have. does anybody have any idea how thick these kits are?

A pic of mine! The wife got it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago. I'm not sure where she bought it, but you "get what you pay for"

The pieces were thick maybe an 1/8" if IIRC. When I installed it, I removed all the pieces from the dash, that I could, instead of trying to do it on the car.

thats a pretty neat Christmas present you got. I want mine to be a thick overlay too...

Good News! the seller accepted my best offer of 65 on a wood dash kit that was originally $95 buy it now. Here is a link:

I am going to order and pay for the "Japanese Cherry" which looks like this

here are the installation instructions.. it doesnt look like it is a think piece of vinyl.. ??

Who said Toyota never offered this as a Dash trim? My Cam came with it .

And I think my car was 100% OEM when I got it (well, not counting the vinyls on the side, but whatevs)

Congrats on your dash kit. Here is a link to an install video, maybe there are some tips your can use in your installation.
