Interior wood restoration

I've done a search and haven't found my answer. I am wondering if anyone has installed one of these sets...

I have a '86 that I'd like to redo the dash and door wood... Are these any good? I'd gladly pay the price if I knew I was going to get a quality product. Any help here would be appreciated. I don't really want to tear out the whole dash to refurb the wood and revarnish... so I'm looking for a goodalternative.

RE: Interior wood restoration

I've never heard of them. Is it an aplique? I've seen both good and bad products.

RE: Interior wood restoration

These things are all over Ebay anywhere from a low of $120 up to over $250. Most use the image I've attached above. Yes they use a 3M tape to stick over the existing wood...I've seen these in other cars and they look real good. I'm just wondering if anyone here has put a set in their Jag...?

RE: Interior wood restoration

I have a parts car that already has this kit installed. In my opinion it looks really nice. Certainly won't win any Concours events for originality, but good looking none the less.
I'd say, it would dress up that everyday driver very well.
I'll send you some photos of mine if you'd like.

RE: Interior wood restoration

well I wouldn't put the stuff in my XJ-6, it's not wood, but sometype of stick-on linoleum, but I can see how you don't want to mess with removing the dash wood and the expense to have it refinished properly, sogo ahead.
