I think there might be 2-3 people on the site with some stick on stuff. From what I understand there is one pretty good company and the rest are no good.
Hyundai used to sell an OEM wood dash replacement (I think Bob has it, among others), but the fake CF one they had was just stick on parts. I don't believe you can buy either anymore.
I would stay away from them if I were you. Or, just get a complete set and use a couple of the smaller accent pieces and not the big piece.

doohickie, I'm not a fan of wood trim, but that looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the factory stuff! it looks pretty good, for wood.

I thought there were some c/f stick on ones available as well, but you'll have to search for them.

For anyone considering woodgrain versus paint- I'm very happy with my woodgrain, but I've also seen some excellent interior paint jobs. The paint is less expensive but more time consuming.
Here is a link to Sherwood (http://www.sherwooddash.com/Parent/search.asp) an their Elantra Dash Kit (https://distributor.sherwooddash.com/Pub/productDetails.aspx?id=2D-1578) (note- the car shown with the "brushed aluminum" kit is Mitch's, the owner of ElantraClub.com).
You can buy them through sites like AutoAnything.com (http://www.autoanything.com/dash-kits/11A50694.aspx)

im not a fan of stick on trim. unless this is attached differently.
my dads sx4 has some CF trim in some areas... and it just looks SO terrible... and u cant really take it off cuz itll probably snap... and leave ****ty glue residue... and it sticks out, and nothing sits flush any more..
now if it came factory, and wasnt stick on, like BMw's and w/e other cars have REAL woodtrim, thats AWESOME. but not this stick on crap.
