Ok I know many hate these but Im looking for advice from those who have them. What company has the best value/quality/options?

I was considering www.woodtrim.com but their kit covers the access panels for the screws near the vents. It also doesnt look like they have the little trim piece just in front of the center console cassette cover that others have. The problem is I think they are the only ones with the mappa burl that I think would look great in an all black interior. The trim pieces seem solidly attached even with those screws removed and maybe I can cut into their trim kit and maintain access to the screws and just cover that hole with the trim plate.

Thanks,

Mark

Someone on this list sent me a photo of their 944 w/ wood trim installed. I tell ya, a black interior shouldn't have wood inside. I can see the tan interiors having wood accents...all in the brown family anyway. But on black, wood is just outta place I think.

That said, I think exoticwooddash.com (?) seems decent.

AndyK,

Thanks, but it looks like exoticwooddash does not carry the 944 pattern anymore.

I see http://www.woodtrim.com/ also has a real brushed aluminum kit for our cars. That could look good with the rest black.

I installed a very high quality wood kit for an early car sometime during the late '80's. It still looks good. It was made by Madera Concepts in Santa Barbara. I note they have a site but don't know if they have a kit for your car:

Good luck.

Carl,

They have them for my car but they are a bit pricey for me at this time unfortunately.

Carl, Any chance you could post a clear interior shot that shows your interior? Also, where did you buy your 931 vented header panel from? Ebay? Other? Had it done? Made your own?

I am looking for a wood trim kit too....not for my 951 but for my 2002 Exploder.

I think they really update the old interior, thoughs lighter woods are very nice.

Well I ordered the kit - Mappa Burl. Once I get the interior finished (need to replace carpet) I will take pics.

Thanks for all the replies.

Mark, I agree, the Madera kits are extremely expensive. I did see some on eBay not long ago at very low prices. You might check that out.

Dan, I don't have any clear interior shots but here are some old shots showing the dash. As for the 931 vented header panel, I got that off eBay.

Sorry Dan 'bout the image screwup above. I will take some current interior shots and post later.

Congrat's Dan on the mappa burl, look forward to seeing the pic's.
