Installed a Wood Dash trim kit today....
Hey Guys,
I was looking for a way to 'warm up' the interior a bit, and saw a really nice picture of a wood dash kit installed in a Bonneville. Sooooo, I took a chance and ordered a kit with the wood I wanted and I finally had a chance to install it today.
I was hoping it wasn't going to look too aftermarket. It certainly doesn't look factory, but I also think it looks good on its own. It certainly brings some attention to the interior and enhances it a bit. I probably would have gone carbon fiber if I had a gray interior.
So what do you guys think? I know for many wood isn't their forte, but I think it looks pretty good.

Nothing says it better than a wood dash kit in a tan leather interior of a Bonneville. Well done. That rosewood burlwood looks a hell of a lot better than my simple walnut stuff.
Go wood!!!
Go wood!!!

[quote="jr's3800"]I love it.... Do thay have that for a 95 Bonneville...

JR -is the 95 a front bench or console car?
I picked my kit out of a car in the salvage yard, but see them fairly often on ebay.
Just keep an eye open on ebay.
Walter, you know what you need next for your beauty.
