Woodgrain Dash, Steeing Wheel & Shift Knob ?

[Matt_Grim2]

I am looking into buying a Woodgrain Dash Kit, 2 Peice Steering Wheel & Shift Knob from Roveractive on Ebay. Just wondering if anyone has purchased this or anything similar & if so what do you think plus do you have any pictures...

My new used truck has a partial woodgrain dash kit (only on door handle and air ventilation areas) from LR. It looks pretty neat. I have Avalon which has much woodgrain and am get used of having wood grain. I like it. However, have no experience with the one from Ebay. From the picture, sure it is nice.

Matt,

When I bought my 2005 LR3 HSE, I had the dealer install their wood kit. It looks great..at first glance and from straight on. BUT, the fit is far from perfect and the wood stops about 1/4 inch from sitting flush in most places, if you look at the sides. Not sure if LR has upgraded this in their current wood offerings. Haven't seen after-market solutions up-close to know if their measurements are better.

Roverdawg,
This is the Woodtrim kit that i am talking about, it is a custom kit that has a lot more peices than the LR Genuine Kit, plus with this kit you fully replace the stock dash it is not just stuck over...

Scroll down to 2nd pic. It looks good and the fit is much better than the dealer installed kit that I have. Personally, I think the steering wheel is a bit much but everything else looks good. Pls. post the manufacturer's price when you find out.

GO SEAHAWKS!

roveractive on eBay is normally just a reseller, so there is additional profit built-in to many items they sell. They are "convenient", but far from cheap.
