Not a big fan of the dash kits. Most look pretty cheesy IMO. Now some forum members have painted their dash/console pieces, and that looks pretty

Well, I have to agree on this one. Most of the interior partial console kits are merely overlay synthetic panels (or, CF) that are adhered with double sided tape, and, look very awkward and noticeably "added on" like a bad toupe.

I'm not much for any stick-on kits -- but I believe that there's a vendor selling actual molded CF kits (I believe it REPLACES your interior plastic pieces). I think one of those would be pretty cool. But, again, I'd vote against the idea of a wood look.

I put the real wood molded burlwood in my Suburban a few years ago and still like it. It broke up acres of nothing but gray. I don't care for dash kits in Vettes though.
