97Acura I did use some of your information, but I gave you credit in the tutorials and on the following link that I will be giving. I'm sorry I should of asked before doing it, but I figured you wouldn't have a problem. If you do please contact me and I will remove what is yours. Thanks!

So guys I got everything put back together and it looks sooo good. I figured out the problem from last night of my interior looking very blue. I didn't use a flash inside the car for these finals pictures so that you could see how it really looks when sitting in the car or standing outside. For some reason the flash just makes my interior really blue, but it really isnt'!

The following link contains a couple pictures of my finished Wood Grain and the tutorials labeled for each piece of wood or you could just get all 3 together. I think the ZIP file with all 3 is a little over 4 MB which isn't bad at all. Hope you guys enjoy!!

Just follow my guide, I know I didn't have any pictures from behind but I had a hard time taking pictures of the clips. If you use Joe's picture he labels them perfectly. Start from the right side and push the clips through. If your piece isn't hanging out after the 2 on the right then you didn't do it right. Also if you start on the end it will move much easier and once you get to the last clip you'll be happy. Just take your time and you'll do it.

And CF on those pannels looks way too Unless the theme is completed with racing seats and a gutted interior. I mean, do you want a car or a ride?

Just my two pennies worth.
agreed. the more wood the better
