I recently was able to pick up a set of polished nickel dash (4) & door (4) pieces (8 in all) to swap out my stock burlwood pieces. It wasn't cheap but I wanted a change. My interior is all light grey / titanium color. Although I like it better, I'm not sure if this is look I want.
Looking for some feedback - does the nickel look ok or does the contrast of the burlwood look better on the grey interior? Sorry for the low qlty pics, it's all I had to work with.

I'll probably offer up the burlwood set for sale shortly is anyone is interested.

Well, the Z71 was available with the 2 tone interior - Black with Titanium seat inserts.  And instead of the Burlwood, it was Brushed Aluminium for the dash pieces.  So it looks like you're getting the Z71 interior pieces.

The only difference would be your Titanium (light grey) interior.  It is hard to tell from the small pics, but it looks like the inserts are very close in color to the dash.  You would have a better view, but were you looking for a monochrome look or do you like the contrast?  That's the only thing that matters.

One other option is to paint the inserts to some color scheme that you like.  Perhaps the exterior paint color?  This might be something you could do pretty cheaply.  I know that there are a few people on here who have done that and I think it looks good.  It would only take a couple cans of paint and a little sanding to do it.

yep, these are from a LTZ model. Thanks for your feedback.
Maybe once I finish placing the remaining pieces on this afternoon, it may give a different look. I'll post some pic after I finish.
Not sure why my pics are coming out so small, they didn't do that before!

Anybody interested in the wood pieces? I have all 8 in excellant condition!

 I'm a big fan of carbon fiber.

 I've never liked the burlwood because it looks so fake (and cheap).

 Keep on moddin'.

I actually was thinking of a silver carbon fiber look, that way it offset the gray color a little more but not stand out so much like the wood.

The wood is not that bad, just not my preference.
