wood grain dash?

Any recommendations for a matching wood grain for my dash to match the lariet wood grain on my doors?
Aren't they a stick on application?
Thank you.......again. (<:

I was just messing with ya. I am just not a fan of the woodgrain look. The little bit on the doors is about all I can handle.

Check out
OEMDash -- Highest quality water transfer printing at a great price!

They have the dash, door switch covers and steering wheel as well. These are on my wife's wish list for her Lariat. Seems a little pricey but it also looks like the quality is there. Probably one of those things where you get what you pay for.

Not required but you will save some $$$ on a core charge. They offer exchange so you purchase the dash, they send it to you and you get your core charge back when you send your original dash in to them in the re-usable box. Your core must be re-usable to get the credit (no broken tabs etc)

I wouldnt do the stick-on's. They may look good to you now but in a couple of years they look like CRAP. Seen way too many of these and never one that held up for very long in the looks dept.

been wanting to do this for a while. going to make some changes that will leave a hole or two in the dash. from all the research, this one always came out to be the best option:

Sherwood Innovations Molded Dash Kit
3D Main Kit

Sherwood Dash Kits - Sherwood Molded and Flat Dash Trim Kits

Dig the Birds Eye color.

Installed my molded dash kit ( about 3 years ago) Looks as good as the day I installed it. Matches the lariet wood grain perfectly. I would stay with the molded units, they are a little more expensive but look & are custom fit. I did a pieced kit on my old silverado & it was too much like work to install & did'nt look as good when finished.IMHO- Good Luck- Edit - There is a pic of the dash in my gallery.

X2 on the OEM dash. My wife got a steering wheel from them back in 08 and it still looks like the day she got it. Matches her existing Lariat wood grain perfectly.
