go to www.alkaplus.com they got all kinds of dashes, including carbon fiber. www.exoticwooddash.com is another choice too.

I did buy one at http://wood-dash.com for something like $170 if
i remember correctly. But don't forget that it was for real wood trims.
The owner's name was Eddy, a real nice person by the way.

Installation was really easy everything was included in his kit, took me about 1-1.5 hours.

The results were just great:

Wood appearance kits are not good..i've got those on my camry. I don't like it at all! I was bidding on a wood kit (REAL WOOD) but forgot to look in time..and the auction ended...look around ebay..they pop up every so often (REAL WOOD..not simulted/appreance). They are higher..but last longer and look great!

(con's the simulated wood is that they can discolor..on my camry by the middle a/c vents, the platic has popped up due to houston heat, so now its sooo evident that its not wood!) YUCK!

Yea, it was easy to install, just time consuming. Took me like 6 hours. All you do is clean the area with the provided cleaner (rubbing alcohol i beleive) and then apply trim and heat up with a hair dryer to get it to stick

If you wait, they sometimes sell on ebay for about $10 less, but only the wood one.
