Wood Dash Trim Kits

Opinions on the wood-grain interior dash kits? Are they suitable for the average clutz (like me) to install, or is professional work recommended?

Very easy, just take your time and test place each piece first.

Do as most of the instructions say. Place the item where it needs to go,
This way you can eyeball is for the needed adjustments when you take the tape off. But do take your time.
But it is easy, just wait till the weather gets warmer and take your time.

We did a brushed alum kit in my wife's and it looked great! I guess I should be honest, she did mosrt of it herself.

Tell me about it! Both times we were in a contest she beat me!! She took 1st to my 2nd and then she took 2nd to my 3rd. We did split the main trophys the first time though, she got Best of Show while I won People's Choice. Not too bad. She does have a sweet looking ride!

I love mine...and as the others said...just take your time and do it on a warm day. It took me a couple hours to do mine, but I test fit each piece and formed it where it needed on the curved areas. Here's a couple pics of the one I got installed. Mine is 55 pc set from edashkits.com

All the dash trim kits posted look good. But, what I like about Deb's...it has pieces for everything. For example, no stock spaces around the radio. Her kit filled in completely.....even the door pulls. Don't know if all the kits are that way.

Again Deb, really looks great...congratulations !!!
