suede woodgrain

Lately I've been wanting to do something to my woodgrain, but I dont want to paint it. I'm leaning towards perf. black leather or dark red suede. My interior is charcoal, by the way. opinions (especially on the red suede idea)?

I think the leather idea would/could look good. idk about the red suede. it might look really out of place unless you have other things inside your car that match. but that's just my opinion

I think it's all about preference really.. I like the woodgrain in the CLs but, I understand why one would want to change it.. The black leather sounds alright though.. but the Red and black color scheme throughout the entire car sounds more .. Good luck with the interior decor. bro

Say no to red, do black leather if anything. I wanted to wrap mine in real CF but I've talked myelf out of it because it'd be too labor intensive

I don't think the red and charcol interior would match. If anything wrap them in black leather. Or even a slightly darker grey than the dash is now.

i always thought the woodgrain looked cheap, so i got a bunch of samples for wrapping it... all sorts of stuff..
in the end, i actually decided the woodgrain looks best IMO, over all the other stuff i've seen

my vote, leave it alone.. you dont want to overdo it
