I used two dash kits to get this "look". I wanted a modern, yet refined look for the interior. I do like carbon fiber, but I have it on my wife's M3.(for the girl-racer look!)

dash kit

where'd you get the silver kit from?looks like a good match to the console.it all looks good together.

Thanks. I got the silver kit from www.dashkitstore.com
The color code is "SA". The wood kit was from e-bay, and because most of it was useless (poor fit, and molded wrong), I would stay away from them. Fortunately the few piece's I wanted to use from that kit were ok.
The silver kit also had many more parts then I needed, but each was a really good fit. I did have another silver piece above the "magnum" but as soon as I took it out of the garage and the sun hit it I had to remove that piece. It looked good too, but blinding glare and driving don't mix. The silver dash pieces that I have installed and left on don't reflect light into my eyes.

RIGHT ON! Sophistication of wood, and the snappiness of polished aluminum. I would definitely like to see that in person. Nice job.

butweet, I will find you at a show or a get together. What show were you at that you got the best paint award? I've been stuck working on my camaro's interior lately.

Meetin up sometime sounds like a plan. Puget Sound Limiteds put on a show at the Nile, in Mountlake Terrace last Sunday. I'll be doing the Cruisin' to Colby show, in Everett on Memorial Day. I likes that Camaro.
It's damn hot today!

No offense, but if the interior looked like that from the factory I would not have bought the car. Except for the faux wood it reminds me of a mid 70's Trans Am interior. To each his own! I'm glad you like it!

 

[Navyvet]

None taken. Honestly I was trying to copy the look from Mercedes E/S class and Lexus vehicles. Light wood and silver trim is on their high end cars. The 70's Trans Am had a silver trim package but the silver was a two tone type with a small checker board pattern. The 70's camaro's dash's were mostly plain black. The Berlanetta(sp?) edition camaro came with a small amount of dark wood trim.

Hey Navyvet does the aluminum match the color and texture around the shifter? I was thinking of getting that same trim but I wanted the metal to match.

Elegant and stylish! Not what I'd go for but I think you did an excellent job getting the look you were targeting.

One of the reasons I bought my magnum was because of it's blend of style and muscle in it's appearance and your choice of wood and aluminum kits definitely brings out more of the style!

 

[Navyvet]

diamondrmp, the silver is an exact match but the materials are different. It's a "bubble" type material in the dash kits with silver as the underlying color.
