At least you don't get the sun reflected in your eyes thing that you can get on a summer evening in the UK!

I hope firebobby doesn't read that - still you are about half a world away from him!

Yes it is wood finish.

Yeah the wood dash is fine for me. However, it has a high gloss finish so I do get reflections depending on what position the sun is. Not all year round of course. It took me a while to get used to seeing movement out of the corner of my eye as highway sign would track across the
finish as reflections. I don't really notice it now so If something important reflects there, it will probably kill me.

Yes it is a wood finish dash. I am okay with it since it sort of ties the color combo together with the tan interior and top. The only thing is it has a high gloss finish so reflections from overhead signs scroll down it and can catch your eye. aside from that, it is easy to keep clean and does not show fingerprints too easily.

Looks lovely, welcome to the forum. California seems so exotic to me, what an awesome part of the world

Thank you. California is a beautiful state to live in. I've lived all over the world and the climate here is the best IMO. Aside from all that, California is a bit crazy.
