Best trim wood grain or other?

Don't buy the kits- they are over priced and don't look stock. Just wait for stock parts (sometimes you have to buy a whole dash part like a kick panel or a glovebox, but just take the wood and dump the rest) to show up on the bay!

Will OE wood pieces go on a car that didn't come with them?

My car came from the factory without wood trim. AFAIK, my dash panels are missing the slots required to insert OE wood trim, leaving aftermarket kits as the only option.

lol

as far as i know the OE wood grain is held on by screws (check your glovebox and backside of door panels) but some sort of adhesive is used as well to give a flush look.

I've had nearly all of mine off, and it doesn't have any adhesive. Doors have nuts on the backside of the panels, glovebox has screws, and by the wheel has little snap type things.

The DOOR panels AND DASH panels have recesses so that once fitment of wood trim is done, it lays relatively flush.

In order to do this retrofit on cars that did NOT originally have wood trim, you need the door panels, glovebox, glovebox latch and striker plate, the little center console piece to the left of the glovebox, and the wood trims for under the steering wheel.

The ONLY pieces that can be moved without needing new panels are the ones that go behind the steering wheel.

Lose the seats, then put in wood. They would clash like no other, silly.
lol Seriously though, keep that in mind please.
