| let's see those dash kits
okay - like the title says, let's see those dask kits - carbon, stainless, wood grain, etc... I've seen two sweet pics - one is toyxbox's interior and the other is on a dash kit site, both are cherry wood. nice, but does anyone have pics of a different wood grain?
I'm thinking about a wood grain, but it may not go w/ the circuit style outside.
thanks in advance. |

| It's hard to get wood grain to look right in our cars. I tried some vinyl that was about the color of the wood grain I was gonna use. It didn't look right. Maybe the seats have to be redone in a brown or tan color. But I didn't like it. SO I went with what turned out to look like flowers. I just didn't want silver accents on my dash anymore. And no, it wasn't supposed to be flowers, but I kinda like how it turned out. | |

| yellow_sub (james), thanks. Veneerz has one of the most complete kits I've seen. I'm glad to see you like it and the color looks pretty close to the exterior. 
how you like the camber? I'm going w/ some next week. actually, how are all your mods going - hatch, FFF, etc? please don't get a Noblesse kit before me - I can't take mods like that w/o me being able to participate. | |

did you get the toe checked/ adjusted by a pro? I'm about to thow down on some camber, and I've heard both wear and no wear - so I figured I hit the alignment rack. | |

| Just a cheap $30 ebay kit but looks really nice (smooth and glossy) in person. A lot of people who know nothing about the car actually thought it came like that.  | |
