Hello. I am having a hard time finding a new "wood" grain dash, and switch panels for my 2000 Rinker Capitva 232 C/C. It is the melenium edition, not sure if that matters or not. Does anyone have any ideas? I wouldnt mind new guages as well.

What's wrong with your old one? If it's just worn, you could consider wrapping it with a vinyl wrap. You could do so many things with a wrap, even a mock carbon fibre display.

If your old dash panels are still structurally solid but just faded and scratched you might want to look into hydro dipping them. Hydro Dipping is very inexpensive compared to buying new and the sky is the limit with colors and patterns. I am having mine dash panel inlays and glove box door hydro dipped in blue carbon fiber.
Here are a couple videos if you are not familiar with the process.
New high quality gauges are not cheap. Check out a brand like Livorsi. Even their entry level gauges will run you over $1000 for all the gauges you need, speedo, tach, fuel, temp, oil pressure, etc. and their higher end stuff can run more than double that price. I've been thinking about installing Livorsi gauges on my 232 but having a hard time justifying the cost. The nice thing about Livorsi is they will let you pick any color guage face, any color LED back lighting and any color bezels.
