Well i was just watching Unique and they seem to send all their wood out to get smoked or redone in another color. I was wondering if anybody knew of some places that did this. Im just looking for something different than Burl wood in my 89 mercedes.

Yea, give these people a call https://www.american-stitches.com/amstitches/pages_2/dashkits.htm. You will have to take the pieces out of your car and send the pieces to them. ------------- davedyer79

Yea, I like that style of layers images on the part, but it they have to receive it, process it, then send it back. I am a time is money person with high-end projects like that.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

That is a great way to do business. But, if you are doing a lot of work to someone's vehicle (ie custom seats, grills, wheels/tire, stereo) you have plenty of time to do a custom dash like this. I overnight the pieces, takes a few days MAX, then overnight them back. Most custom work and high end stereo systems I do take a few days, and this has been an amazing addition to their custom interior. Also, if it is you own vehicle, like Markland559's Mercedes, than I think you can sacrifice a few days for a custom and unique interior. Just my 2 cents.
