What are the advantages of synthetic wood?
Keep in mind also that real wood veneers can vary slightly from tree to tree. Even though a kit is cut from the same sheet of veneer, each piece can have slightly different coloring, burling, etc. Synthetic veneers are always the same, and you are guaranteed to get pieces that match exactly. This is important to consider if you plan to add additional kits in the future. Also, almost all OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are using synthetic. For example: Acura CL & TL, BMW Z6, Buick Regal, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Ram, Honda Accord and Passport, Infiniti Qx4, Isuzu Rodeo, Jeep Cherokee, Kia Sportage, Lincoln 2000 LS, Navigator and all Towncars, Mazda 626, Oldsmobile Bravada, Toyota 4-Runner, Avalon, and Camry Solara, and Volvo C70.
