Default Extended wood interior pictures, anyone?

Can someone showcase some pictures of the interior with the extended wood package? I'm liking the looks of wood lately. Anyone?

Thank you for the input so far..

As for what I'm looking for - generally anything. BUT - the latest style is preferred.. I think the latest ES has the wood going across the dash on the right. Is that right?

I was talking about the ES today with a friend and he laughed at it. Jeez. The ES has a bad rep because of the Camry.. I see it as a very, very classy-looking luxury car...

Hey,

Very nice wood kits guys! Both of you guys did a fine job blending everything together. Nothing looks tacky, which is a common fear or problem most have.

hey NYC ES3, I think the license plate in your picture is on the wrong car. lol

your dash looks cool.

Sal, on the 3rd gen ES the standard wood is around the shift, the ashtray and around that, the strip about the glove compartment, strips on all four doors just under the window. It is black plastic around the radio and climate control. This wood matches the wood on the steering wheel. The steering wheel is one of those "standard options ". $330 for and option that comes standard on all cars on the lot (the dealer I went to). On the positive, it does complete the woodwork.

Hey Sal, here's a pic that I got from ExoticWoodDash.com of an 02 ES300 with a wood dash kit. It looks like a bit much to me. If you're interested in seeing some others from some other model years. Click on this link for a list.

Way, way too much; wood should be an accent. I'm still thinking about the door pieces, climate controls, and a custom piece for the HU trim in my 92. I think it could use just a few more touches to liven up the interior. njes300 and NYC ES3 have both done a nice job.

Default THANKS EVERYONE

Thank everyone for the compliments...on my dash!
I also agree with everyone else on the 2002 ES pic.....not only does it look like somebody chopped down a forest and put it in that car...but the grain of the added wood is different than the factory wood by a long shot...it looks kinda tasteless....The real thing is that is sombodies car....WHat the hell is that guy thinkin??...LOL......

P.S. That license plate on the car in front of mine just goes ta show ya that Adobe photoshop is great!!.....LOL

I thought I'd noticed that too, and it's more than kinda tasteless IMHO.
