Hey guys,

Recently nabbed a beautiful crack free, window tint protected dashboard, and upon attempt to install it, I realized it looks like a serious PITA to retroactively put in the dash wood.

I was wondering if any of you guys have a set of burlwood dash parts on the market. I'm not looking for a showroom floor set, as this car is my daily driver, but I want it to be a beaaaautiful daily driver on the inside as well. Some cracking of the lamination is fine, as long as it isn't aggressive or spread to the veneer. Slight fading is fine, but not to the degree it looks like milk chocolate (I've got a set of that in it already ). The most important criterion are that the edges where the door wood meets it is NOT separated or cracking, and the shifter wood stays in place. Cracking between switches isn't a big deal either.

The pieces I'd need are:

-Over steering wheel long piece
-Glovebox
-passenger side over vent
-radio console
-ashtray
-shifter console


The radio, ashtray and shifter aren't the necessities, as I'm 'okay' with their current condition, but a matching set in the car I plan on driving the rest of my life is a plus

Thanks for any leads guys!

-Carlen

P.S. if it's local (CT Tristate) within about 2 and a half hours, I'm more than willing to go out and help remove it or whatnot!

I have some of the pieces you desire. Don't recall specifics on condition as they have been in storage for a while. I'll try to dig them out of the garage tomorrow and get back with you.
