This is the legit place i was talking about. They got 2 types of wood grain. One is synthetic and one is real wood. The real wood matches the Oem color, but its very expensive.

I'm convinced I made the right decision. The Part just came today in the mail I will post before and after pics within the next few days.

If you want the tacky "wood grain all over the place look" order that. But if all you want to do is replace the stock look and feel then order from here.

Doctor can we please get a woodgrain intervention? DUDE MAN!!!!!Dont do that to the GS please! Maybe there are some better kits out there made from real wood but I have not seen any. I have ,however, seen this garbage plastered all-over the dashes of many cars that have come through the shop(mostly Lincoln town cars, Chevy impalas and caprice, various s.u.v.'s,and occasional Pontiac). Now I dont know the time frame between brand-new looking and self destruct but I have only seen either white and chalky,cloudy,,,, brittle and cracked,,,,,, some here,some there,some peeling ,some M.I.A.

So here is my theory on mods , You either have;

1: Functional mod(turbo,coil-over,pistons,cams)

2: Visual mod(wheels,body-kit,paint,lights,tint)

3: Junk that you regret buying(l.e.d. valve stem caps,chrome door edge moulding,loony toons floormats,flames stickers,"carbon fiber look" shift ****,stick-on emblem that tell what size wheels you are running ie; 22"24"26"28"30"...........,cherry or coconut giant crown air freshener thing that make your car smell like a pimps lair,Type R seat covers with built-in bolsters,rainbow hologram window tint,chrome fender "ovals?", stick-on;non-functional hoodscoop,roofscoop,trunkscoop,doorscoop,anywhere scoop (if one is good two is tw0 as good),jet performance module,spinning hubcaps,chrome tail-lights w/circles,hood pins,seat belt pads,mini fire extinguisher on A-pillar R.F.U.,steering wheel cover ribbed for her pleasure,and of course STICK-ON WOOD GRAIN DASH JUNX)
disclaimer I am drunkandhigh and have not taken my medication in several days dont listen to anything I ieyes says
