I ordered one of these kits in the J7 magnetic color to see how well it matches the rest of the interior. I've never been much of a carbon fibre fan as it all looks too 'added on' to me but just my view and if you like it great, definitely looks like a quality product. When I get mine, I'll post some pics.

Hi Larry,

Been there at Ford when we introduced the the world to the Blackwood Lincoln F150.... a premium Truck and it had premium appearance, but more importantly and unfortunately its poor sales was much of what the Blackwood Lincoln had over the Ford F150 was under the skin. Particularly the attention to sound deadening, ride and other NVH tuning options. Things the customer did not see, but if you owned one...it was wisper quiet. So what? If the customer does not see it...it is unappreciated. I spent much of my career in the realm of doing the unappreciated but making the vehicle more robust, quieter etc. Why? Because I internalized the improvements as I knew I did a good job that few would appreciate outside Ford..... Okay, now I reap the satisfaction when folks with older Rangers report their pleasure and lack of problems with their older Ranger Trucks! Means the work I did was worth it to have satisfied customers.

Best,

The oldtimers in my classic car club would always say "Lincolns are Fords with lock washers". :)

I am thinking of getting Carbon Fiber or Gloss Black - how scratch resistant is it?
Im planning on going with the gloss black. Didn't want to add another color or texture to the interior that would look non-stock, like an out of place add on.

Hey Bret (@Cape Cruiser ) how's that applique holding up?
Terry , the applique is doing good except for 1 small spot is trying to release from around the edge of the climate controls. I thought in was installer error but another member here Apotocki has the same issue in the exact spot. Wood dash replaced his, I have yet to contact them about mine. Overall im very happy with them.

Hey Bret,

Looks sharp! Very luxe. Too bad they donā€™t have kits that fit my dash. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s because I donā€™t have navigation or because I donā€™t have climate control (maybe those are bundled?) but my control panel is way different.

Besides, if youā€˜ve seen my truck, you know Iā€™d probably just order Black. Oh well, I need recovery track mounts anyway.

I think @Ghost Ride is in the same boat.

Duke, I would check with Mel at wood dash.com. They might have updated fitments. Bret

Sites are not always up to date and he clearly likes to work with his customers - Iā€™ll connect with Mel. I sure hope he has matte black.

Sounds like contraction of base panel from chills of damper release on tailgate that some may have, but in your case, probably just expansion due to the heavy work involved in dropping it :crazy:

Thanks for the update, considering it as my luxury mod :)

Guys that have installed these dash kits, I assume you have to install them with temps above a certain temp? The one I ordered is coming, but so are cold temps. Any other advice on install is appreciated. My wife gave me the large kit, which I didnā€™t want. Cost me to ship it back but the small kit should be here Thursday.
