Default wood dash kit

Where is the cheapest place to buy the wood-like dash kits, thanks Jim.

eBay! I got mine for a little over a $100 and it was real Burlwood not wood-like.

I spent a good deal of time on this, Jim. I have an 88 vert, and looked at a lot of kits. I elected to go quality instead of cheap, and I'm very glad that I did. The cheapo ones really look like it very quickly. The top of the line ones in MidAmerica, (and some others) are manufacured by a company out in So California and look like the car came from the showroom with it. Pay the bucks and you'll feel like your interior is new.
Look at Kool88vette; I think that he got the same kit and you can get an idea of how it looks. Consider tossing the breadbox for a wood panel (usually included with the good kits). Changes the entire look of the car.

I have the mid america kit on mine. Looks real nice. Love the flat panel. But now, looking back, I wish I would have just painted my dash pieces with automotive paint with my hvlp gun.

Jim,i just pulled a wood kit off my 89 vert to replace with carbon fiber. i'll send the kit to u for $15.oo plus true shipping. i haven't looked at it since mechanic packed it up but it had some scratches on it before take off. Wife and daughter loved it i didn't,but they really just let me win this one. e-mail @ sir34r@netscape.net cause I only get on here infrequently.
