I purchased a wood grain kit for my King Ranch about a year ago and decided I didn't like the look thus, I sold it to a buddy on here for what I paid.

I found it on ebay and it was an OEM Ford accessory that the company that manufactured them was selling because they were overstocked and that was when they were introducing the electronic climate control and hence, changed the shape and size of the center dash portion of the wood bezel.

It was a VERY HIGH QUALITY piece and fit PERFECTLY but, I just didn't like the way it looked...

I know there are several on ebay all the time thus, you might shop around there and see what kind of deal you can get. Some kits feature OODLES of pieces of wood whereas others (like the one I had purchased for my 01 KR) only had window switch plates, and a center bezel around the radio.

Good luck in your search.

I got mine at Lear Truck Center two weeks after I took delivery in 99. It was made by Florida Trim and has a polimer clearcoat that is very durable. Lear charged me $300 installed. You can get the same kit on-line from Nopi for about $240. They are easy to install and totally change the looks of the interior.

I have installed a carbon fiber kit in my wife's Volvo - It makes the bland plastic interior look very sharp.

Check the woodview automotive trim website. It looks like theirs are pretty high quality.
