Opinions: Wood Dash?

I was looking into some wood dash's. I dont want to keep my painted dash, its too bright and such, I would rather have stock black parts. But my question is do you think the wood dash would look good on my grey leather interior?

Cool

I like wood, tho I don't like that wood you showed.

This may, or may not intrest you.
I forget the name of the company (so this is useless), but the actual maker of all the OEM wood trim found in Lexi is known.
They sell individual, or kit pieces Lexus doesn't include OEM that.
Money is the limit, they can supply about any ES interior piece in the OEM wood.


Dig through ClubLexus and see if any of the pieces you want fit a Camry. I bet most of them (minus the climate control / radio / cup holder / ash tray) fit.

Well im trying to stay away from painting the inside. Im trying to make it as OEM as possible. I didnt like the white, its just too bright and only really looks good to me from the outside because it matches.

What kind of wood do you like, and ill look at the Lexus stuff, thanks!

dont like the color of that wood, plus if your car is set up like a performance type that wood grain is big NO-NO! an alluminun dash trim would be nice.

Wood looks classy but I personally don't like it. My dad has it in his rolla. I thought it was a cool option at first but it's now kinda ugly to me.

my first choice was to do wood grain, with chrome accents - but then... i dunno, you've all been seeing the direction i've been heading... anyways, PLEASE do not get any of those stupid stick on wood grain crappy dash kits... if you want an OEM look, check out Alsa.. there a good company, im using their products in painting my car as well.. but they have a procedure called hydrographics...

http://alsacorp.com/products/watertr...ertransfer.htm

only catch - You can't do it, you have to send off the product(s), but you'll get a great OEM look (maybe better)... as for color.. with your dark grey, I'd go dark woodgrain.

but thats my $0.02
