That should answer your question.

HahaOk, let me rephrase that. WHO carries a respectable Dash kit for the G50?

I hear nothing but good things about: http://www.burtmanindustries.com/index.php. You might try him but his prices are as high as his quality.

Anybody on hear running this kit?

Remember, that is real wood.

BUT.... I can do it in a new "synthetic" wood that just came out that looks very real, and quite bit less. Feel free to email or call the # on the site and ask for Jason.

Email sent Thank man

Next Question.Wood grain Shift Knob for the Q. I would love to find a factory looking one, just in wood. Any Ideas?

Also, what about Wood Grain/ Billet Pedal's? Something that looks classy with out going overkill. I'm not in love with wood grain, but I'm just not into the Factory pedal covers. And if you could match up all of the cockpit in the same style, i think it would look sick!

Hello Ben. There was a thread about this a few years back in the Q45 forum and IIRC a member was able to use a shifter from a Lexus but it didn't have the push button on top and wouldn't lock into gear.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Burtman products (he's done other things for the G50) and nothing but bad things about the other ebay choices. You need to start looking for a penpal in Japan.

Hey Mike! Long time no see!

Thats good th know im on the right track then! Burtman will be the way im gonna go! ... when i build up the cash. Unfortunatly i have prioritys at the moment aka bills but someday i will have the complete wood interior like i want.

And i DO have a buddy WITH a buddy in Japan... he Regularly imports containers of cars and JDM parts... HE just resently tried to bring in an S-15 Convertable... that didnt work to well. its now in Canada.Damn. Oh well.

and last but not least, those toggle switch safety covers. I dont want ugly ricer colors but it a sexy woodgrain.
