Wood Dash Kits

[mghaynes]

Anyone out there installed any of the aftermarket wood dash kits? I see several available ranging in price from $100-$250. Any of the manufacturers better than the other at giving a factory wood trim look? I don't want the cheap plastic wood look.

Why would you want to cover the classy stitched leather?

Stay away from LGT Automotive,located in Canada. I found them on the web and ordered 7-9-09 and as of this date they have not sent the dash kit. I have called and email them several times with no response. They also double billed me, my credit card co removed the 2nd charge. VISA is in the process of removing the 250.16 from my card, after three months and no dash kit.

I don't want to cover the leather. I was thinking cup holder needs the wood and maybe a few select other places. But, I want it to look as real as possible and not like cheap, ill fitted plastic.

Hi,

I have a 2009 Genesis V6 3.8L sedan with the premium package (not tech) that I bought in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The dash, the top of the four door panels along with part of the console came equipped with the plastic woodgrain trim.

The outside of my steering wheel did not come with the plastic woodgrain as shown in the photo.

Photo only added to give you a better idea of the appearance.

The woodgrain in my car is a little darker than what is shown in this photo and looks pretty nice as far as I am concerned.

sorry for bumping an old thread but i though this was interesting http://www.carid.com/2010-hyundai-genesis-wood-grain-dash-kits/item-83171.html im thinking about getting it with the carbon fiber option. i know what ur thinking "why would you want to cover up all that nice wood?"
its because im a kid and i think wood makes it look like an old people car

Depends upon which eratz wood trim you have - mahoganey, cherry, or walnut.

Mixing wood colors is generally not attractive. Most after market kits seem to be mahoganey.

It's your car and you're entitled to do whatever you want to it, but in my opinion, I think adding those faux 'dash kit' will make your interior look tacky.

Plus, according to the schematic they're providing, it doesn't cover the center wood piece that surrounds the head unit slot(cd slot).
So you'll have partial wood and partial faux carbon fiber.

Your choice. Good luck.

Bump to an old thread -

Looking to cover the OEM wood with something a little more modern day such as Carbon fiber, piano black etc. Basically, the same look KIA is using for some of their vehicles dashs. I have a friend who has a new Sorento SX and the dash almost made me pass out I liked it so much. I wouldn't cover any of the beautiful leather, but all of the other pieces in the kit I would possibly use.

Maybe?

$247 for real Carbon fiber I'm ready to change!

Or maybe something like this would be much less $
