Factory match wood grain kits
I'm looking to get a factory match dash kit for my 99 TL, and i have searched and checked out a few different ones. can anyone give me a recommendation about which one is the best to get?

i have a kit from nycdashes.com and its a bit too reddish. They sell them on ebay for about $120. I went for the price but the color is a bit off. too bad because the fake grain pattern is good.

I got mine from Joshua Tree, http://www.woodtrim.com/ It's kind of expensive (on sale now for $234) but it's real wood veneer and matches perfectly.

REAL WOOD !?! That sounds GREAT , but how can the real stuff (wood) match since the factory stuff is just painted-on-plastic wood grain?
Can you take and post a picture of it in your car? I am very interested in it....

The pics from Joshua Tree's site looks pretty good.

the pic on their site seemed to far away to really see the match. I'd love a close up showing the OEM side panel {fake stuff} next to the real wood trim around radio and/or the silly pocket over radio.

thanks a lot, the kit at www.woodtrim.com does look very good, i will go with that. the other question i have is i have seen a lot of pics of TL's (including the pic on woodtrim.com) that show a wood shift knob. my TL did not come with this, it just has a black leather-type one. where can i get a wood one?
