I liked the wood. ;-)

Do you still have the ac controls, vent bezels, behind the steering wheel, above the clock and the cup holder peice? My car only has the center dash and door rests?

I do still have all the wood that I removed. Everything in that pic and all the door rests. I will probably sell it soon. I removed it cleanly off my dash. Here is a pic:

That looks much nicer! It's good to see that they are full replacements and not just overlays.

Bravo, bravo! The wood looked kind of gross and at least out of place.

Yeah...the pieces were glued on. I just used a heat gun and a lot of patience. Pretty much just heated up the wood pieces and slowly peal it off the dash.
