Vinyl woodgrain dash kit

Does anyone know of anybody that has used a vinyl woodgrain kit and how they've turned out? Where did they get them and how much? My interior is camel color and the woodgrain is a golden brown (burlwood?) maybe. What color did you use to come close to the original woodgrain? I'm just thinking of using these for temporary uses until I can get the real wood deal. SOO many mods, SOOO little money.

Dask Kits

I am looking at a dask it with real Carbon Fiber from B & I. But there are many companies that make wood/synthetic/ and carbon fiberdash kits for the TL and TL-S
Web sites for NYC Dashes, Bene-Vento, B and I and more.
Look carefully at installaion needs. I am using a NON promoter (glue) installation.
I have seen some installed examples that look great.

Guys, most of these kits will come with 2 sided tape already on the pieces. All you'll need to do is peel off the backking and apply to your car. I've got the Carbon Fiber kit-love it, it looks great.

That must really be a pain to install sticker type overlays vice the plastic ones with tape.

Yeah, I did have the sticker real carbon fiber pieces on my Accord before I switched to the faux carbon fiber OEM pieces.

Now I'm thinking of overlaying several interior pieces with real carbon fiber with resin. I'm doing the plastic jack cover in the trunk now, just clearcoated it, and so far, it looks awesome. Wrapped it in 1x1 carbon fiber to match the interior trim. I'll post pics soon.

Here's mine...it wasn't $40.00. This kit is about $300, but there are about 35 pieces to it. I love the look.
