Real wood kit?
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a genuine wood trim kit like this one:

Thanks in advance, my interior is a bit scratched so it would be a welcomed change. I searched but the search was dividing it to both wood and kit.

Most negative posts on dash kits are from guys that have never seen one in
person.I do not like a "wood" kit.However,a CF(real) looks great.I've done my
entire interior in CF.Its a combo of dash kit parts,molded parts and custom
made CF panels.Check my veh pics for an example.Again,dash kits get
a bad rap from those that have either not seen a install in person or heard
bad stuff like peeling,edges coming up.If you install properly,the results are great.
I've had mine installed for over 3 years,it looks brand new...no problems.
A personal preference for sure.These kits offer just about any finish.IMO,
other than CF and brushed aluminum,most others don't work in a Z.

lol ok I'm gonna go with CF, I was going for real wood though not those stickers you place. I'm looking at the 3M carbon wrap, maybe I'll give that a go.
Thanks for your feedback.

If I were to do wood I would have it Vacuum press/wrap some exotic wood. I was hoping you were doing this... I might try it.
But dont do that woodgrain kit

Honestly, if you like the wood look, but don't want the crappy sticker look, you should go with getting it hydro dipped. I believe one of our sponsors on the site does custom hydro dipping.
I've seen it done, and it looks real clean when done right. Not everyone is a fan of it, and really that's not suprising since we all have different taste. I belive though, that if this is the look you're going for, this is the best way to execute it. Have fun modifying!

The waterfall and door trim from my '08 is in the process of being hydrodipped right now. Should have all the pieces back and installed in ~2 weeks. I bought some used pieces to send, so I could continue to drive the car during the process, and I'm not sure if I'll keep or sell the stock pieces. Hydrodipping seems the best way to go. Almost infinite pattern choices, durability, and I'm only paying about 2x what people charge for vinyl wrapping.
