    Looks great. I have both kits (See my gallery). Did the one for the passangers side give you any problems, cause mine did? It was the only one.

    It sure as hell did!! Couldn't get the stinking door off so had to put it on blind. The bottom left side is high by 1/8" as a result. Can't complain too much 'cause only one of the 8 folks that've seen it so far has spotted it. I refuse to speak to her anymore, LOL. The others just wanted to know where I got it and how much it cost! :D

    Every part I put on stuck great and after two years is still solid. For some reason the top of the drivers side dash would not completely hold and caused a wavey look to the top. Had it replaced and the second one did the same thing. :mad2: Nobody notices it but me. Did you get the real wood?

    Are those appliques or real wood parts?

    I would love to get some matching dash and door peices, but I didn't see Lazer Blue on their list.....I'm not into the carbon fiber look either.

    The kits that Sherwood makes are real wood veneers that have been impregnated with urethane for UV protection, flexibility and to provide a way to attach the adhesive. BTW, if those pieces were made of solid high grade walnut burl the cost would make you blanch! :eek:

    Mine came from CarID, but it was not the same company. You can call them and ask if they can match your color, as they offer a OEM color option. I did not go with the real wood for verious reasons. I might the next time around.

    DASH KITS - WOW TRIM!

    Very nice! I like the finish better than the OEM wood option.

    Which cup holder is that?

    I know it is a bit late now, but there is how you remove the cover on the secret compartment.

    1. Open and remove the two screws that are easy to see.

    2. Along the front (bottom) inside edge (closest to you) there are four clips. You have to stand on your head to see them, but they are there.

    3. The proper tool to release them is beyond me, but I used pair of needle nose and used them to force the clips open rather then squeeze.

    4. Once released the bottom is free, so pivot it upward and it comes off.

    5. To put it back on there are two tabs at the top that fit into two slots. Insert and pivot forward and down. The lower clips will pop right into place. Replace the two screws.

    Yes, the clips are a PITA.

    Yo Jim - I got that miserable door off and was able to correct that alignment mistake with the careful use of an Exacto knife and a straight edge. Mucho gooder now! Thanks again, DW. :Thumbsup:

    After 7 months, I finally decided to put on the door pieces of the kit, too. Someone on a different forum showed pics of his and pushed me over the edge. Am I ever glad I jumped! The camera flash makes it look much shinier then it looks in natural light. I'm really liking it a LOT! :D
