Nice Job - it looks really great!!!

I bought the Sherwood Dash kit http://www.sherwooddash.com/ in Rosewood.









I have to admit I am a bit embarrassed!! My installation was pretty rough and I had to buy a second kit because I wrecked a bunch of the pieces.

It sounds like you and PanhandleJim just breezed through the installation.
You guys must have the skills and your dash(es) look great!!!

I think the wood definitely adds nice contrast and highlights to a great Toyota Cockpit!!

Great Job,
Randyman

Hey Jim...nice job on the install and good to see another Barcelona Red. I posted some pictures in my other reply. I think you and FLTRN404 had a much easier time with the installation!!

Nice work!!

Randy! Looks nice! For my tastes, I think i would just like the piece that surrounds the instruments and over the glove compartment. I wonder if individual pieces are available or I need to buy the whole kit? I bet the whole kit!

Hey Jeff,

I just checked and you can get the Sherwood Kit in an upgrade package for about $160 from: http://www.lgtautomotive.com/Toyota_...duct_info.html

The scematic of the pieces included is:










They have a couple of other smaller kits, but I don't think they have the instrument pieces.

Good Luck and let us see the finished results,
Randyman

Thanks Mike - I always enjoy hearing from you.

Unfortunately if i did this for a living I'd starve!!! I take way too long to finish these projects (in my mind). Hate to think what would happen if "the meter was running"!!!!

Thanks,
Randyman

Hey FLTRN404,

I posted my own thread regarding my dash installation. I was going to post it last night and then I saw your great work.

If you read my thread you'll see I had a hard time with this project and I wanted people to know that although I am very happy with the install, it was no walk ing the park!!!

My apologies and I want you to know I did not intend to hijack your thread or take away from your accomplishment. Your kit came out really nice!!

Please keep those great posts coming,
Randyman

Randyman,

Your installation looks fantastic! Since everything I do takes only about 5x as long as I expect can you give me an idea of about how long it took you?

Also, not that "I" ever make a mistake of course! but if I mess up and have to replace one of the pieces does it come off easily enough?

Thanks,

Don

Nice work Randyman...I followed your link and looking at the area above the rearview mirror in their photos...it looks like this kit is for a non-sunroof model....did yours have a piece to surround the controls for the sunroof and TCH on-board garage door opener switch? Thanks. Mark

I went to a local installer and they recommended a kit by Alliance Technology. Not sure which way I am going to go yet. But I have time to decide, as I want to wait until it is nice and hot outside to install it.
