Does anyone have a picture of their '96 SE dash with woodgrain? I've seen the 97/98 woodgrain in person and it looks ok. i'm looking at a '96 SE right now and all I have to go on are small pictures. The woodgrain in the dash/doors looks a whole lot lighter (and possibly cheesier?) then the later models.

Does anyone have pictures to share? What about factory spec dash/door kits? Do they make ones that would match the factory standard plastic without looking cheap?

The OEM woodgrain is the same for all 4th Gens.

 

thanks!

what kind of dash kits can be had for this model? anything that would match the rest of the stock black plastic inside?

turns out that it was NOT oem woodgrain. . .they were STICKERS!!!. . .looks like someone got a CRAPPY dash kit or something. . .STICKERS!!! if i buy this thing i'll have to pull that garbage off and (if it's hiding a crack or something) replace it!

 

since it relates to the topic, anyone ever paint your dash trim gunmetal... like the color of ludacris' wheels?... i know we have silver, but im thinking about gunmetal, how would that look?

 

why woodgrain? Are you some kind of gieser?

 

woodgrain with leather > every other dash kit..... cloth with woodgrain does not look right and I would recommend CF or brushed alum..

 

Damn, that's not a bad idea. I might have to do that.

 

HA!!

Actually i'd rather it be just plain black. what I was saying was that the OEM woodgrain i could LIVE with. I think i've gotten used to it (my girlfriend's altima). But the pictures I had it looked way too light and looked more like the woodgrain side-stripe on an early '80s Caravan! I wanted some reassurance that it was just a bad picture. Turns out that it was a great picture. . .crappy dash!

PS
they also replaced the stock bose head unit with a Jenson CD player. . .good thing I have my pioneer and my own speakers to put in. If the guy was too cheap to buy a better CD player, i'm sure he was too cheap to buy a wiring harness to match the impedance and blew everything up.

 

well post some pics, and let me know how you like it... its hard to ruin the "all black" unless i can see what it will look like...

 

How about you do it and post some pics before I got to the trouble of painting over my nice silver...

 

im thinking about it... you could also "refresh" your silver if not pleased with the gunmetal...
