Wood Dash Inserts

[0321]

Has anyone had any experience installing a Wood Dash insert. What are the better kits out there? What is the appearance after installation? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I've installed a couple, somewhere on here should be some pics of a kit I installed on my wifes HHR.
Couldnt tell you the best kits, theres so many manufacturers out there now days its hard to keep track of all of them.
Some tips for installation are as follows:

Pick a nice warm day, lay all the pieces to be installed out in the sun and let them get pliable.

Use cotton balls and isopropal alcohol to wipe all the places the inserts will go (this is to clean off any contaminates and give the 3M tape a clean surface to stick on).

Repeat the cleaning procedure 2 more times with drying time between each cleaning.

Before peeling the tape prefit each piece.

Have an exacto knife of razor blade handy for any small trimming needed.

Have a blowdrier handy if you need to reheat a piece.

After applying the inserts park the car in the shade to allow the inserts/tape bond.

While cleaning around the inserts try to avoid getting Armour All or other chemicals between the tape and panel surface.

The correct kit matched to the correct interior color and materials makes the vehicle look much better, I still think the kit I installed in my Tacoma 9 years ago makes the vehicle interior look better, and it still gets compliments after 9 yrs.
