    These folks say that their corporation supplies Toyota with the wood dash kits for their cars that have them installed. You can get any of the woods, or simulated woods, in dash kits cut specifically for the Prius.

    Genuine wood costs more than simulated.

    Link is to Lexus wood, which can be cut for the Prius. This is a do it yourself kit I am told.

    They are sending me some sample chips to make a buying decision on, I'll let you know how well this goes later on the self install.

    The sales guy I spoke with offered a slight discount on this genuine wood kit, call and ask for Maurice.

    PS: this Lexus wood has a slight red tinge to it, which I think may go well with my Salsa Red exterior.

    Not to troll, but lots of companies offer real wood interiors for a similar price and you get more pieces including ones that have a one-piece MFD wrap vice two. Still, I'd love to see the pics and might order a sample before I am too quick to judge.

    I have been considering doing this for some time now. What wood are you considering. The Lexus link was for "Burlwood" however it's listed as SOLD OUT. I looked at the Prius section, but if all they do is the center console, and for that price there are several other companys that have MANY more pieces of wood for the Doors and L/R Dash vents!

    If you go through with gotta post pics. Love the idea, wanna see results!!

    Good Luck
