Jon, you should blur out the license plate number in your sig. You don't want to make it any easier for the scam dogs to get their hooks into you.

You lookin to Jack my R ?

Thanks..fixed it.

That kit has a few more pieces than what was on my car when I bought it. I don't have anything from the front armrests on back. Don't think I'd care for it on my own armrests. It LOOKS great, but I'm glad mine stop with the mirror/door locks piece.

It's about $400.

I'm debating whether it's worth it or not for real wood vs. plood. I saw a pic of the Enclave interior the other day, which has real wood on the wheel and fake wood on the dash, and the difference was obvious.

Just keep everything fake and you can't notice the difference!

I like all the extra pieces. I think it looks great going all the way to the back.

I like the kit and would love to have the pieces that finish out the dash to the console, but I'm also just not sure about the rest of it?
It does look good but like Dave I'm not sure I'd like it on the arm rest and beyond?

I love it! I'm not big at all on wood kits for the Rivi (that's not the direction I going with mine), but that looks VERY nice. I like it all the way back. Very Bentley(ish).

I checked and real carbon fiber it would be $36.00 extra.
So 179 + 36 +shipping.
Not bad for real carbon fiber!

Black, Silver or Blue

That carbon fiber kit is sexy

Me likey the black carbon fiber.

I'm thinking about getting this for my medium gray interior. Did any of you guys come across a pic of an installed ebony zebrawood kit when searching for your kit? I don't care what it's installed on, I just want to get an idea how dark (or not) it is and how big the grain pattern is.

I emailed BD Trims customer service, but they haven't responded yet :/

Remember to buy it from BD's Ebay store....cheaper!

I think it will look sharp as heck. That would have been my choice if I had a grey interior!

Here's an Acura MDX with Ebony Zebra Wood.

That DOES look sharp. Thanks a million!

That will look great in the Riv.

It will if I can get it.

I fµ©k hate eBay. I slogged through their damn slow site and now they're telling me my browser doesn't accept cookies when every other site on the internet (like this one) has no problem.

All rightey then, one dash kit ORDERED! Let's see how long it takes that puppy to get here!

They were actually pretty quick to send it. I got it in about 4 days.

The first part of the kit anyway.

I'll be thrilled if it comes on Mon or Tues. I can't wait to see it! The stock med burl wasn't quite working (would have kept it if it hadn't been damaged, but oh well) - I think this is going to be a big improvement.

Is that the same style wood as the Lincoln Blackwood if so I think it would look great.

I have no clue.

Make sure you count all the pieces to verify you received them all. I was missing #16. They sent it.

what do u think of this? i really like it..im just p!$$ i do not have the straightest hand in the world..so hopefully i can make it look straight enough when i get to doin the whole car..as u can see the water on the arm thing there it was rainin and i couldnt open the doors.

I wonder how an aluminum-ish dash kit would look...

I've been wondering that for a long time. but I've never seen any Riv with an aluminum-type dash kit. Actually contemplating getting one myself.

Did you outline everything with a sharpie? It'll turn light black pretty soon.

I think the aluminum dash would give a more modern yet somewhat retro look.
