Wood grain dashes are manufactured to transform the interior of your car from unimpressive to luxurious. With little money and simple do-it-yourself installation, wood grain dashes can take an interior that looks like something found in any rent a car on the road and turn it into something like a top of the line driving machine. You may be driving a Taurus, but at least the dash can look like the dash in a Rolls.

Installing a Wood Grain Dash Kit

Dash kits aren't something you have to take to an expert to install. You already have the tools you need your own hands. All you do is warm up your car to a glue-friendly 72° Fahrenheit, clean your dash thoroughly, removing any trace of dirt, dust, grime, or cleanser residue, and you're ready to go.

The secret weapon when installing wood grain dash kits is a hair dryer. If you find a component being the least bit stubborn, turn on the hot air. Soon, you'll find that the piece yields to your touch. It can be gently kneaded to the shape of the dash. Since kits are custom built to fit different makes and models year-to-year, in all likelihood a hair dryer won't be necessary.
