It has the original woodgrain which came factory. The guy i bought the car from changed it and tried to go with just the plain black look. But I actually think the wood looks good. So i put it back on. And i havent seen many with this anymore... What do u guys think??

i like it alot, didnt know that package was factory on some of these... always thought they were aftermarket

gcgarner

Don't think that's factory. Looks good, though. Very 80's.

mario82z28

thats a whole lot of wood grain... looks good

87IROCZCamro

not a fan of it

jon 89 RS

I think it looks so pitiful that u should just give it to me nah man it looks good.

A little too "Buick like" for my taste. I might would expect it on a Berlinetta, but not an IROC.

Since you asked...........I think it's pretty ugly dude, these car's ain't caddy's.

I'm not a fan. I believe those could've been a dealer-added option, but it didn't get on the car hauler from the factory with the wood grain pieces installed.

Ive only seen the wood grain interior on the zf model camaros.Im not a big fan of them myself

Tobias05

not crazy about it.

ROCFATHER

HAHA... thanx 4 the honesty!!! but i was never a big fan of wood grain on a IROC either. Whether we like it or not, this was popular on our cars,, especially around LA. Like someone mentioned it is an 80's look all the way. I think my biggest thing is that its different and unique too. It aint coming off!

And yeah it was factory ACCORDING TO THE RPO #.

Reminds me of an early 80's LeSabre/Park Avenue dash, the kind that was flat on the top.

DyingYoung138

I think it's amazing on the radio pod and the center console, but not so much in the dash. Kind overdoing it if you ask me. I've actually been looking for some aftermarket replacements for my radio pod and console covers.

I think it looks different. makes the Iroc-z look like an expensive car.

I'd like to see that RPO code. The factory never offered a wood grain trim in a thirdgen. It was a dealer or aftermarket option, neither of which would carry an RPO.

86NiteRider

iTrader: (10)

What is that RPO code for wood grain? I have never seen wood as a factory option. Have you run this by the experts on the history board. I know my factory manual does not list a wood grain RPO. If you have a factory code you have a RARE IROC. Just curious.

ROCFATHER

The RPO is (B-18 Ornamentation Interior, Deluxe) its not known as wood grain. But yup thats it! look it up. Thats probably why its hard to find.

I know its rare. Probably worth some $$ if sold seperately!

gcgarner

Wow. Very interesting.

Frozer!!!

iTrader: (11)

Never seen tha before. Looks different for sure. Dont ever pull it off! lol

The Project

iTrader: (6)

There is no mention of this option in the "Camaro White Book" or any of the 3 1989 Camaro/Chevrolet brochures I have

The White Book only mentions the deluxe luggage trim option RPO B 48.

Sure it's not a dealer option??

Sonymaster20

iTrader: (3)

IM pretty sure that Its not a dealers option. I have seen about maybe 4-5 camaros in the last 4 years run up on ebay etc. I look on ebay everyday and look pretty much everything up so i have seen alot of cars.

gcgarner

Sure, but were those interiors on ebay aftermarket? You can get aftermarket woodgrain for Camaros ... some of the members on this board have them.

I'd like to see Rocdriver's RPO sheet. Got pix?

redbeard666

very different and nice.

Sonymaster20

iTrader: (3)

Yea true true. Didnt really do some research on them either

It's actually missing two pieces. There should be a piece for the defroster side and another for the light switch side.

I was just looking at an 87 IROC-Z today that was for sale... planning on parting that out. Anyway, I wrote down all the RPO codes, and B18 is one of them that it had. There was no wood grain anywhere on it and there were no holes in the dash where it could be clipped/snapped on and there were no glue marks left on the dash like someone peeled it off. Sorry, but the B18 RPO code does not mean you have wood grain.

Mike

PS - I just checked and my 1987 IROC-Z also has the RPO code B18 and it too has no marks of any kind that may have been from a wood grain finish.

Your wood grain may not make your car as rare as you think.

drknow90rs_ss@y

iTrader: (3)

Yeah, B-18 is the carpeted rear quarters, I think. Also carpeted kickpanels. Also known as just "Deluxe interior" according to year one.

Rockyd

WOW think about it if they put woodgrain in they would of put cup holders in if they put cup holders in they would have a soft ride sorry man thats just my

ROCFATHER

Interesting.... i never heard of that one. But hey i could be wrong guys! Now the fun part is finding out what the hell some of these RPO's really mean?? My woodgrain fits really nice and its real wood! Not like the plastic aftermarket junk!

Kevin84Z28

iTrader: (3)

It's a veneer glued onto a core panel. But yes, it's real wood.

gcgarner

My dad's 86 T/A has carpeted kick panels and rear plastics. I'll have to check out his RPO sheet.

id love to see a kit like that in carbon fiber. anyone know if those are available on the aftermarket?

avro206

thumbs down.

I get the whole, "its 80's" but its still ugly.

Like the guy in my Firebird club....76 Trans Am...black and white with FLAMES....yeah it's 70's but I hate that frickin' thing to be anywhere near my car!!

Now you just have dash kit....so its not THAT bad

GodSpeedGTA

iTrader: (1)

sure its 80's but its the part we'd all like to forget about the 80's. Its ugly in my opinion as well and id rip it out of there faster than you could blink. Ill say it once again, unique and different usually doesnt = good.

It reminds me when I get into construction workers and poor ppls pickup trucks and suvs and theyve "custom" made wood paneling all inside and its ugly and screwed in. It looks like garbage!

Kevin84Z28

iTrader: (3)

I just bought 50' of carbon fiber stick on (nice quality) to do just that, Haven't had the time to measure it all out though. There is a set on Ebay for over $200 some guy is selling. I was thinking of going $45.00

drknow90rs_ss@y

iTrader: (3)

www.yearone.com Has the carbon fiber overlays and wood grain too... Order the catalog (82-92 camaro-firebird catalog, its free.) Inside they explain some of the codes, including b18... If you look in there, they sell new kick panels, with a short explination of B-18.

It's a caddymaro! The woodgrain stuff isn't from the factory, but probably a dealer option. As for why a dealer would put woodgrain in a camaro, that's beyond me

scottmoyer

I need to contact Chevy as I got ripped off! My car has B18 and there isn't a lick of wood grain in it. The factory workers must've been sleeping that day!!



Seriously, the wood grain was either a dealer add on or a previous owner put it on. Just like today, there are kits available for just about any vehicle. Today's big kick is the carbon fiber look. The 80's, woodgrain. Not factory by any stretch though. I'm glad you were so positive about what B18 meant that you even went bold in your text. People need to be careful when stating things as facts when the details really aren't known.

sroka

nice

Would look better in my Buick Roadmaster wagon.

YEAH OKAY ,,,, factory workers sleepin,,, HAHAHA i'm sure. And so far its 50/50 as to like it or dislike it. Your interior is cool looking,, but its 99% the same as EVERYONE ON HERE!! BUT U HAD TO SHOW IT RIGHT. How do u spell ........LOSER???

Ive been feeling alot of Hostility in the interior threads lately..

scottmoyer

rocdriver, what is your issue? You were adamant that the wood grain was factory and B18 proved it. I joked about it being the line workers forgot it on my car. I don't need to post pics of my car or my interior to show it off. Nobody said anything about the difference in the looks of the interior for you to attack me with that comment. How do I spell loser....r-o-c-d-r-i-v-e-r!

Hey man what's your problem? You're bashing someone for showing a pic of their interior yet we are in a forum called "Interior"? Not to mention you shouldn't be bashing someone to begin with because his is a helluva alot nicer than yours, I got your back Scott.


P.S. Just wondering why the hell you would start arguing w/ a moderator to begin with.


Heres how I spell DUMB: r o c d r i v e r

ROCFATHER

Well i guess i was a little hard on Scott. But us 3rd gen guys dont take no BS!! LOL.. No hard feelings dude. Just caught me at a bad time.

drknow90rs_ss@y

iTrader: (3)

LOL, wow!! Is it hot in here? I gotta say, for me, scottmoyer's car has a near-perfect interior as far as I can see. rocdriver, I wouldnt worry about the code. We all make mistakes, and if this is your first one, then you are doing better than me!! LOL PEACE!!!

kiztope

To the main question : Sorry... I've never been a fan of seeing wood on/in cars.

3rdgenBrad

i like it but not for me. iv never looked it up but i wish i could get carbon fiber in my bird like some else mentioned earlyer. or mabey make a diamond plate trim kit my self thats what iv been thinking about but not sure yet any ways nice interior.

JeremyNYR

iTrader: (2)

It's kinda interesting hearing people talk about the woodgrain looking bad but thinking the modern day equivalent (carbon fiber STICKERS) is cool. You'll be peeling it off in less than 10 years.
