elm or walnut
I am about to get rid of the navigation system which turned out to be as useless as a goiter, every $50 walmart system beats the build in one (as least in my '02) and the three gauges look very classic.
But I digress ... I have been shopping around for a new set of matched dashboard panels and I found a set at xk8interiors. They offer them in either elm or walnut. I look at the pictures but I can't really tell the difference. I have a black interior and I like what have right now.
Which one does Jaguar use in their XK8s?
Thanks, Mark

here are some pics. I just got an email from a member who sent his center piece to myrtle to get a matched three gauge piece, interesting thought!
My steering wheel is a bit darker than the dash, I think the dash lost a bit of its color from the sun.
The 3-gauge piece is from ebay, just to test the look, it's much darker and does not have nice wood markings

Walnut burl is more likely to have nicer patterns, more contrast, darker colors, more depth. Many times Jaguar walnut burl will have some 3D effects... fiddleback, flames or tiger stripes as some people call it.
A lot of the Jaguar elm I've seen looks bad. The set you posted pictures of actually looks nice for Jaguar elm. Jaguar elm looks horrible next to elm burl. The walnut in the picture looks bad for walnut.
