I ordered a kit from a Florida based dash place (Florida Auto Dash?) when I had the BMW. It SUCKED! Thin, ugly shiny parts, looked fake. Maybe it was the dark wood color I chose...but nothing I would think of buying again!

I have a complete kit that came off Damian's low mileage cab. Its in excellent condition and is already glued to all the panels. Let me know if someone is interested. Its not one of those cheap kits either, quite expensive from what I am being told.

I may contact you about that kit if I end up getting a refund and I like the wood selection. Any pics you can post?

Update:

They called me at work and left a message - everyone calls when I am away from desk lol. They are going to send me a new one with better grain and want pics of the skewd and crooked areas. I should be able to take those pics today at work and email them tonight or tomorrow. So hopefully this works out in the end.

My car came with a "Rosewood" dash kit from Daytona Dash. It is medium-coloured (deep gold/slightly reddish), with a straight grain (not burled). I think it is real wood. It actually looks great with my Linen interior...I did not care for it at first but it has grown on me big time! There are pieces on the dash, around the power window switches, on the center console, even on the power seat controls. The one problem is that the holes for the fan and temperature ***** are too small so the numbers themselves are mostly obscured. It cost ~US$225...this was > 5 years ago so I have no idea what it would cost today or if the company is even in business anymore.
