You can see the layout on their website. Mine is a stock order. We installed everything but the outboard vent surrounds on the front dash.

Hope this helps.

Yes it does. Thanks. I must have been still sleeping when I started to read your post. Opps

Thanks very much Northern Rider.

Those who are considering that kit will be much assured.

Also thanks for taking the time and effort to put together the comments and pictures to illustrate the process.

Impressive : It adds more Bentley/Lexus factor to the car

Question: Is the material NYC's real wood code # RWBW, or NYC's wood-replica code #WBW?

It looks just fabulous

TIA

Thanks for the kind words. It is the replica. It was a closer match to the Tortoise.

BTW, if you like the photos, you'll love the kit. It is hard to photograph. I had my local dealer owner in the car today. He drives a 300C and has an awesome collection of older Mopar stuff, (including a gorgeous Imperial, Redman). He didn't notice the kit right away. When he did, he couldn't believe the quality, and how well it enhanced the 300C. He couldn't tell whether it was burlwood veneer or synthetic, as all wood trims have a clear plastic finish on them).

If you like the inside of the British luxury cars - this is the kit.

I really appreciate the pics and info in this post. I too have been considering the addition of a nyc dash for my car whenever it shows up. What I am wondering is if anyone out there has used a different wood finish over the dark interior ( I have an SRT8 on order which only comes in the dark interior

)and if there are any pics out there of something else. Keep it coming all !! Love the info!

I forgot to mention that I have ordered samples from nYCDash but they haven't arrived yet.

MOST helpful.
Have been considering same style of kit for some time now (non-tortoise).
Appreciate your excellent photo galleries showing us how a close-match really looks.
5 Stars!
