Greetings all-
Was curious about seeing some examples of replacing that wood sticker on the late model 1800 dashboards. What have you guys seen as best alternative? I love the cars...but man the look of that fake wood hurts my eyes!

Don't like the fake wood either...maybe go real wood. Wouldn't be too hard, use the fake wood as template, you can get very nice veneers, walnut or whatever, a nice stain and finish, might look nice. The other way to go is using aluminum or something , could look nice but might look cheesy.
