I bought these at Carlisle last August and just put them on today. I had to wait until all my electrical problems were fixed.
Look at page 3 of my website.

I like it a lot.  Looks good.

I have considered wood grain for mine, but there is way to much else to do first.

The wood grain looks great...I've been thinking about doing that & after seeing yours might just give me the kick I need.

did you have any trouble with the ash tray door opening and closing? ive heard that the wood kits cause some headaches like that.

Yup. When I dry fit it and tried opening the door it was OK. When I put in on to stay, I must have been out of position a little. The door will open, but not easily. It probably should have a small notch where the door tab is located, so the cover can be closer toward the rear of the car.
It works for now anyway.
