Woodgrain kit

[kbasham]

Does anyone know where I can get a woodgrain kit just for the center console up to the vents above the radio?

Do you really think something as hideous as this:

looks "classy"?

If so... http://www.usspeedonline.com/page/U/PROD/SH-LS is the place for you.

Thats why i did this:

That actually doesn't look too bad. Did you paint them yourself? And what made you go with maroon? Nevermind... I'm assuming it matches your car's exterior, as that's the only reason that would make any sense. Neat.

yeah, its the exterior color, and i di it myself.

ya.. the first pic looks ugly.. but he didnt want the whole thing.. he wants the vents.. AC controls.. and radio.. like what i want.. to answer ur question.. yes they do.. at a shop around my house.. its like 160 for those 3 peices alone.. and the whole kit is 350... pretty steep...

i personally think mine would look better with those 3 peices in the middle.. and only the middle!!

very nice V-8! like that color match. the maroon is the most unique color for the LS, imo. i still prefer black but that's my second choice.

as for the wood dash kit, i actually like it over the basic black plastic. if i had an '03 or up, i wouldn't change anything because the brushed aluminum is a nice touch.

PS you can get the basic wood dash kit (12 pieces or so) for the LS for about $50 on ebay through several different sellers. the full 30+ piece kit is available on LSKoncepts for $150.

Can't you just go to the dealership (or perhaps some random website?) and order the OEM aluminum/woodgrain trim? Maybe one of you parts people would know...

Unfortunately, my car didn't come with it, but I'm going to see if it can be done when I go back to the states for spring break... which I'm pretty sure. I mean it's just a matter of taking out the old pieces and sticking the new ones in... right? That and replacing the steering wheel and shift knob.

Edit:

a better look

I have no idea where to buy those things except for ebay, but I think the only wood that LS needs is the shift knob and the steering wheel, like the Bangin LS's car's picture up there ^^^^^. I just got me a wooden shift knob, but I still need a steering wheel. Anybody has any for sale?

the kits i saw on e-bay are vinyl stickers.. they peel off with the heat.. i dont recommend them really..

see i like the vent / radio / heating panels in the wood trim, but i like the black & aluminum shift panel to stay as is.

ya thats what i want, the center console with the wood dash... i also want the pieces on the doors where the window buttons are, i think that would look nice too... i already have the wood shifter and steering wheel

 

[steagle]

lenndawg - go on ebay, those cheaper kits have the door pieces you're talking about, i think also pieces for the moonroof controls and back door panels too.

 

[BanginLS]

ebay has the cheap vinyl stick ons.. plus if u contact the seller.. they never respond

I ordered mine on ebay and its the good one it cost me $160 w/shipping to Puerto Rico!!
