Tired of plastic, I want REAL WOOD!!

Anyone know if someone makes real wood inserts to replace the plastic on the dash? I love wood....

looking for bookmatched quartersawn burl (like what a rolls royce would get.)

Your best bet may be a british car restoration facility. Try a forum like www.britishcarforum.com for recommendations. I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine most restored dashes for cars that came with real wood dashes are custom made for the car, not made in a factory or done from a template.

It'd probably somewhere north of 400 bucks for the whole dash on a 2005, and over a thousand easily if your car has wood on the door panels, but it would be a hell of a braggin right.
