Anybody got a picture of a wood trim dash kit on their S2k? I've only seen the aluminum and the CF on the S2k's.

I think most folks probably skip the wood as it doesn't really fit the character of the car.

That's why I want to see a picture. I'm not going to bone out for the kit until I can see it. So, has anybody got it? You see it in Z3's, so why not the S2k?

Because as posted above it is out of character with the design philosophy of the car. The S2000 is designed to be a minimalist, elemental sports car. It is supposed to replicate the feel (as close as possible for a road car) of a modern Formula type single seater. That is one of the reasons for the digital dash and the fact that the passenger side of the car is so bare. Everything is centered around the driver. It is not meant to be a "Junior Jaguar".

Of course people who don't "get it" will always try to make it into something it is not.

Yeah, that would be hot. You could call it a Honda Country Stook.

Were you interested in the bird's eye maple or the polished mahogany? Perhaps teak or cherry wood?
