ExoticWood Dash - which color

I've reviewed all of the posts on the wood dash kits. For anyone that has installed a kit from exoticwooddash.com, I'm curious if anyone chose either the "Dark Burl" or the "synthentic light burl." The wood "samples" on their website don't show the color very well. I think I like the Dark Burl, but it looks so dard that it obscures the grain...

What color is your interior ??

That should drive your decision.

Interior is Black. In my opinion, the "factory match wood" is too much of a contrast, so I'm leaning toward either dark burl or light burl...

Given how glossy the top coats are in all wood interiors, I doubt the "real wood" looks any more real than the synthetic. (But if anyone has the synthetic, does it look 'real', or can you see that it's composed of a bunch of tiny dots, like a magazine photo?)

I agree with you completely . . .

The lighter woods will complement Parchment and Camel, but I'd go
for the darker burl with Ebony.

While we are on the subject, I'm not sure what color wood would look good with Quartz.

As a lot of you know, I was one of the first on this Forum to add the plood kit and the original to take out the Black Carbon pieces and swap them with the OEM plood tone that comes with Camel/Parchment. I happen to like the contrasting lighter tone against the Quartz. But this is a subjective topic that one can only answer for themselves. You might contact Exoticwooddash.com and see about getting actual swatch samples. With the Ebony interior I think the OEM plood coloring would be too light.
Just my $.02.
