Default Dash Kits (Sherwood, Joshua Tree, etc.)

Just curious as to opinions on the following two dash kits in either aluminum or black/gray carbon fiber (the wood looks fugly). I really wish that the two kits were combined because they each have a couple different pieces:

Thanks

I went with the brushed aluminum Mopar set myself. I don't like how the wood kits look in Jeeps (especially in Jeeps with grey interior). Our Lexus has wood trim and it looks great, but wood trim in a Wrangler just doesn't seem right to me. Just my 2 cents...

Any chance you got a picture of yours? It would give us some comparison! And boy oh boy does the Joshua tree version get you into an orange-ie kind of color! But hey, for anyone out there with it, We all just hope you like it, because thats all that matters!

Doesn't look like any of these kits cover the passenger side airbag area and that piece is the worst of my problem. Probably wouldn't be safe to put anything else over it though :confused:

I've read one very positive review of Wooddash.com on this forum, and one negative one (nothing negative to do with their product - someone was just really angry that they wouldn't accept a return far beyond their stated return policy).

I've never seen that Joshua Tree trim before, but I've gotta say that looks pretty sharp!

Just for clarification. I DO NOT like the wood pattern from Joshua Tree. It is nasty.

I would consider their genuine carbon fiber or aluminum. I just thought that it covered more of the interior than the other kits. I particularly like how it covers the shifter counsel (I have an auto) and the upper slim part of the door near the window where I rest my left arm (that part is scratched to hell on my JK). However, I don't like how the Joshua tree kit doesn't cover the large rectangular piece on the door which on other kits says "Jeep."

I don't have any pics of mine. There is one here (I hope the link works!):

The Jeep in that pic doesn't have the doors on though, so you can't see the door pieces. Plus, I think the cover shown in the pic looks a little different in real life (it looks better in person). The only thing that surprised me, is that the kit is not actually made of aluminum. It is more of a plastic/vinyl material that kind of looks like aluminum.
