WEll? Are they? lol I love the look but was really hoping they wouldn't mess up the origional paneling if you ever wanted to remove it. And after how many years will that crap start peeling off your console....kinda sketchy about the whole thing...

If the woodgrain was all new panels I would buy it in a heartbeat. Maybe after a couple years there will be some wrecked Titans in a junk yeard that i'll be able to strip the inside paneling from to throw that stuff onto and intsall it.

My dad has a set similar to burtmans in his seirra pick-up and they still look nice after several years. if you are looking make sure you get the ones with the rolled edges so it looks natural. Burtman one our sponsors, has some of the nicest set around.

Yes, I was checking those out and they seem pretty awesome. I absolutely love the woodgrain interior that comes in the more luxurious vehicles. I especially appreciate the dark burl woods. So perty....

As long as you take protection against termites, wood will last pretty long. :lol:

No worries on the kit I sell!

Some things that set our kits apart:

Most kits being sold are not real wood. Most kits are advertised with a synth wood price and will show a lower price, until you hit the drop box to see the real wood prices.

Our real wood has a very "deep" 3D look to it, aka, Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW. Synthetic wood is basically a "photograph" of real wood, so, in person, it won't have the effect real wood can have. I also sell synth wood kits as well and there is nothing wrong with them.

The edges are tapered where the clear coat ends, and are cut perfectly straight on the edges. I've seen many kits that aren't cut straight and they just don't spend the time to do it right. The adhesive backing is also tucked in behind the pieces so dust/dirt won't collect on the edges. Not many, if any do this.

Our kits don't require a promoter to be applied to the dash before you install the kit. We use a newer version of 3M backing that doesn't require a promoter. Yes, this is more expensive, but it sticks better. Just about all companies require a promoter if you look at their install instructions. These promoters can discolor your dash, and with our kit, you can remove the dash kit later without harming your dash underneath. Many customers have leased vehicles and need to remove them at a later time.

Yes I've been looking at the kits on your webpage and they look fantastic. I've always wanted the woodgrain interior and if you're sure they don't mess up the dash if ever I wanted to take them off, I'll definitly be thinking about getting the real wood dash kit. Thanx for all the info Jason.

What would shipping be like to Canada? Gillam Manitoba Canada. The postal code is R0B 0L0. I don't want an exact number, just ballpark so I get an idea of how much I should be saving. lol

Coooooooool.....

SOLD! But I have to wait 6-8 months for my chequing account to accumulate a little...lol. I find it a little tough to shop for decorative things over the net aswell cause I never know what the different styles/colours are going to look like inside the titan. hrmmmm...

Hey Jason, do you guys sell the upper parts of the dash trim? The sections the arrows are pointed.

No, those aren't made since they are too high and will crack overtime from the sun. I've seen it happen. It's different in the QX56 as it's injection molded.

What is the "grain color" style pictured in the image for the Titan? What is its kit number and cost for a 2006 Titan SE Crew-Cab in that "grain color" style?

This one has the outer trim on the center console and around the stereo controls. Who knows about quality though.
