Default Dash Kit suggestions anyone?

So after 13 years my woodgrain dash started to delaminate in some spots, I removed all of it. I was never too fond of the woodgrain. I have the tan leather interior and I dont know if carbon fiber would look good or not. I searched and searched and found no pics of it. What do you guys think would look good? If any of you have pics of the tan leather with different kinds of dash kits.. that would be awesome!

Do you have pictures of your wood? Just curious to see. My GS is a 98 and the wood is still in perfect condition.

I agree, tan goes best with woodgrain, not carbon fiber.

Nah I already got rid of it...the lamination was separating and it just made parts of the dash look yellowish. It wasnt anything crazy, just the corners and near the really thin areas. I think its probably just years of New Yorks extreme temp changes. Damn I was really hoping there would be some alternative other then the wood!!
