im afraid that when i pick her up at the docks trusty and rusty flathead will pop up and attack her. hes one agressive screwdriver.
do you have to pull the dash apart then remove the coating or just heat and rip.
btw if i get it off cleanly does anyone wont it?
it would need sticky stuff again but just a thort

mealting etc..
maby paint over it, if it's crap then pull it off after.

Yeah, I'd agree with KamaSupra ^^

But without seeing it, I guess I can't really make a judgement.

What parts of the dash are woodgrain?

And I agree that heating it may be detrimental to the dash.

p.s. Aluminium (RZSPECT)

depends what type of finish you want,
if its brushed look you want, then not good for you.
check out a silver hammer tone finish,
something different and you will prob like it,
it's at bunnings or so.

does the supra logo sit far up enough so it can be seen, or does it hide under the edge of the seat?

The logo sits high enough but you can't see them when you are sitting. You can see them when you open the door. They look great as they are based on the factory originals and the fitment is brilliant especially $60 a set.

Don't worry RZPECT. If you are nice to Uncle G, I am sure he will hook you up.
