Looks great, and looks like it matches perfectly...I too would put the metal looking steering wheel trim on there, but to each his own.
What about the arm rest...did he finish that yet and give you a price on it?

The armrest pieces just shipped today. As for price, he asked me to wait to divulge that info.

Dang, Chris! That looks awesome! I know it looks good in the pics, but how is the match of the grain and color in person?
Hmmm... Spending way too much on this truck lately... But, wow, that looks great... Dammit.

It looks and feels awesome. As stated on their site the woodgrain has a tad more gloss to it, but its barely noticeable. I think that may be for good reason too, I would think that over time all the handling of it will wear down the gloss a little bit.

I would like to note that the horn mechanism for these Tahoes is retarded.
I'd also like to apologize to the people that were on US 280 in Birmingham yesterday who listened to my horn blow for 20 seconds before I drove another 15 minutes with my fingers under the horn before I got to a parking lot where I pulled the fuse.
I really don't want to fix my horn (lol) because I need to unhook the battery again to remove the air bag, which in turn erases all my audio setting from my $1000 dollar head unit, which was unbelievable to me yesterday morning.
Adjusting the horn isn't hard, just a stupid design though.

DAAAMMN SON... for real though, it looks great!
I would agree, if Chris had not just paid close to $100 for the wood ones. I really like that company's carbon fiber wheel/spoke covers, but with wood in the rest of the truck it wouldn't look good. I have been going back and forth about wrapping all the wood pieces in mine with carbon fiber wrap and getting one of those wheels, but I can't make a decision.

While it is always best to disconnect the battery when doing anything with the airbag you could get away without doing it since you don't have DISCONNECT the airbag to fix the horn. The wires are long enough to just lay a towel on the steering column and lay the airbag on top face up to work on the horn. You can stand to the side while doing it in the very unlikely event it should go off.

Yeah, the thought crossed my mind of just letting it lay there while I adjusted the screws.
Check the cooper contact on the bottom. It slips under a little plastic tab before screwing it down. I almost missed this. Other then that I don't know what there is to adjust unless you bent a contact. It would be hard to get the 4 screws on the metal plate to tight even though the video warns not to overtighten.
