Hey Guys,

I have a 08 LMM with the wood grain on the dash and doors. Anyone know of any company that makes replacements for these pieces, like in carbon fiber or something. Just not a big fan of the wood grain look.

Thanks,
Jeremy

I don't know about the new body style, but for the old body style (pre 08) GM made dash kits in wood grain,colors, and carbon fibre you could order. Talk to your dealer parts department. for my 05 the dash, center console tray, surround, and door controls all had carbon fibre pieces from GM available. (actually fake carbon fibre, not the real thing, but nice looking none the less)

a couple companies for you. Wilwood in CA ask for Richardo 909 703 2407 and Phoenix Imaging in TX 903 939 3369 as for Robyn. I have used both companies. You have to send them your interior pieces. Phx Imaging has tons of choices. go to www.phoenix-image.com

Mine came with CF with the Ground Effects package (GFX)
These trucks go from the GM plant to an authorized accessory outfitter called Ground Effects.

Check out these guys if you want it done top notch

http://www.customhydrographics.com

You take out the pieces that you want redone send them to them, pick out your pattern and color and they dip the pieces and come out with it looking like it should have from the factory. My buddy just did all the plastic parts in his interior with them and looks awesome!

There's a TON of patterns out there available...

There's a guy over on a racing forum that does it too. If you check his post history, he's got some really neat stuff: http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=256314
