I did my car exactly the same. The kit just didn't give me the piece for the headlight switches on the left. I'm sure you'll get lots of compliments about it as soon as someone gets into the car. |

If I can find my digital camera I will also try and take pics. I'm curious about the color of my dash as it all looks the same color to me Zembrano wood. |

I need to do some modifications to the inside wheelwells to stop the bit of tire rub, but the 18" wheels look clean.

mtflight, the stock size rims are 16". These are 18" with 245/50R18. It had a lower profile originally, but these have a much smoother ride.
I need to get a heat gun and mold the inside areas away from the tire. Unless there is a better way.

245/45R18 would be the same diameter, but I'm pretty sure you're right and it's actually the width of the tire not the diameter that's the issue.... I guess you could put chalk or something eles that you can wash off on the inside of the tire to see where it rubs. |

Those rims look like a MB CL 600 but they look cool imho.
Hey Mountie you have a brilliant car |

I just don't know for sure, since I just got the car.
Did Cadillac offer this kit from the factory?
Peace

The only wood on the 92-02 eldo is the door, and the dash. It is genuine Zebrano wood.
The ETC also had wood around the shifter knob and ashtray. Wood on the stereo, climate control, window switches, light switches, door handles/locks, etc. is aftermarket laminate or simulated. The one pictured looks to be real wood. It comes in a "kit" and glues on with 3M tape. I've seen it on eBay.  Pictured is stock wood, except for the shifter knob. Some 2000-2002 had aditional wood in the steering wheel. The collector's edition in white, has eucaliptus wood, which adds depth and warmth. Similarly the aztec red collectors edition had no wood--but carbon graphite inserts. |
