That's what CSM uses. #254. It really isn't affordable. It's pretty expensive. I am working on a correct grain woodgrain. I actually have the correct grain in Vintage OEM woodgrain vinyl. The color is a little off, but the pattern matches the OEM interior pieces. I have covered a glovebox door with it and will try to snap a pic of it if I have time after work tomorrow. I have bought several old stocks of woodgrain, and only 2 rolls were the correct grain, but very very very hard to find.
My woodgrain dashes will be like the originals. The original were a really thin piece of plastic with the woodgrain vinyl laid on it. I have verified this with several original production line dash bezels. The main thing I don't like about the repops and CSM's (not calling them out, as they do good work) is that the grain isn't at all like OEM pieces. It's just a woodgrain vinyl slapped on in any fashion. Trevor
