www.exoticwooddash.com

They have wood/brushed metal/carbon fiber/etc interior kits. They are generally applicaes, but there is a replacement carbon fiber package.

I think www.afterthoughtsauto.com has/had a carbon fiber replacement package as well.

I have seen an F-body with the "wood" interior, but it looked out of place. The brushed metal and carbon fiber packages look better IMO, especially if you get the replacement pieces instead of the applicaes.

After looking at pics of your car, I would definately say go with the brushed metal look. IMO Blue/silver/chrome look awesome together. If you were already looking to do the wood grain kit, I say deep 6 that idea and go with brushed metal from the above link. www.exoticwooddash.com has great product quality. Do it!

I'm with Rob. It's that, or take your interior pieces in, and have someone paint them charcoal grey mettalic. That would look awesome in your car.

Don't pay for aluminum. Paint the pieces you wish. I have a painted silver interior.
