Having seen the recent posts with carbon fiber dashes, I was wondering if anyone has a wood dash yet.

I am considering a wood (burlwood) dash kit (I like that look) but I am not sure how it would look on the Z's ultra-modern dash design. I have mostly seen wood dashes on flat dashboards.

Does anyone have a picture of a wood dash kit installed?

Could this be photoshopped or is it too difficult because of all the angles and curves and diificulty in modeling wood burls?

 

NOOOOOO!

Don't do it! Put the woodkit down and back away!

seriously, I always thought those stick on wood kits looked really cheesy. On the Z - it won't look good at all. imho.

 

Don't worry, I am plenty skeptical on how it will look.

But... I always like the way wood dashes looked in Jaguars, Audis, and some other european cars I have seen. I just can
t visualize it in the Z.

I thought there might be a chance it would look ok with the leather seats in the touring model.

Tastes cary. I myself happen to HATE carbon fiber looks. Carbon fiber is good for things that need to be strong and light (ie there is a good engineering reason to use it). But (to me) it looks cheesy on non-structural items or interior trim pieces. When it is used on non-structural pieces it sort of yells "poser" or "hey look I am playing race car guy". To each their own I guess.

Maybe it is a age/generation thing. I am a geezer compared to the cabon fiber people I have met.

As for wood. . . I sure would like to see it before writig it of entirely though.

 

Don't do it.... Please..... Yes, burlwood looks good in LUXO-COUPES/SEDANS...... NOT, sportscars.....
JMHO


but, it's your car, so do what ever makes u happy...
