Default Dash Trim Kit / Fake Wood

I installed a fake wood trim kit on the dash of my RT, as I wanted to make it look richer. Am happy with the results, Burled Walnut, basic kit from NYC Dashes.

Very nice!
My wife wants the aluminum (silver) trim kit. How difficult was it to install?

Nice look!
I've put in a few of the kits in various cars and they install fairly easy. The main thing when putting on the piece is to make sure the surface is clean and keep your fingers from touching the adhesive backing.

TxRide,
That's a Sherwood dash kit, correct? I have a question about the kit. Did it come with two different style of headlight switch assembly covers? One for auto headlights and the other without?

it's called "gray burl" , as for the wood - seem like it is mountain acrylic.LOL.(unless u'r asking about manufacturer- in that case i dont remember, but guy who sold it to me claims its made by OEM ) i don't think they use real wood on any car with sticker < 80K.
and yes : it came with different light switch panels :w/ and w/o auto. it also had different wiglets - w/ and w/o steering wheel mounted controls and differnt "magnum" logos on the left vent. it also has pieces going on doors (all 4)
easy install, but you have to cleant it goood with med alcohol and heat up pieces to ~80F. i used hair dryer.
hope that helps
