The 1x2ft section of Florentine Burlwood ABS plastic sheeting arrived a few days ago. I didn't have a chance to post about it until now, and still haven't had a chance to take a good photo of it since the weather has been pretty grey and cloudy here lately (photo is up now). As soon as there's a decent bit of sun I'll post a photo of the sheet beside a section of the Acura's stock woodgrain trim.
The image above shows the Burlwood ABS sheet. The color differs a little from its true shade, as the sheet was shipped with a peel-away protective coating which I've not yet removed.
Overall, the sheet is very nice. The patterning is nearly identical to the stock trim. The color, however, is a few shades off, being a little more on the brown side than the reddish-brown of the stock trim, but I think it should do nicely since it'll be sitting on a sharp angle to the rest of the trim and the color variance shouldn't be very noticeable. (Refer here for photos of the burlwood sheet installed in the dashboard. The trim pieces located on the left and right are stock. The flat sheet in the center is the newly installed burlwood sheet.)
Notation:
Use a flush-trim spiral router bit for edge trimming.
This material can be cut using a utility knife and a metal straight-edge.
