Re: woodgrain for gauge cluster and glove box

For the guage bezel, I am not sure, but there seems to be a problem with shrinkage over time. I recommend trying to find the newest batch out of somewhere. The trick that I have found out on the board and did for mine is to get some Contact Cement for like Counter tops & such and put that on the back side of the overlay. It helps to reduce the shrinkage on them. Just be sure to clean it before it dries if you get any around the edges. For the glovebox, I recommend getting a whole new aluminum piece with the woodgrain already stamped on. I used a overlay for mine, but will probably get the whole aluminum and everything this time around.
