How do I remove the wood grain??

Hi, My wood grain trim has been peeling off here and there, and now it just looks ugly and faded and I want to know how I could take the stuff off?? and if I wanted to re-apply the same wood grain trim where could I purchase it at. Thank you

take a small screwdriver and start at an edge that has been peeling off.

try some 3md double sided tape and see if u can reuse them with the new tape. if u dont want to do that, check ebay for some.

thats why they faded and the real ones didnt lol...

not a fan of changing interior colors unless its painted..
also, the more woodgrain = the more 1970's station wagon you have

never understood why it goes in "luxury" cars
id much rather have black or body matched trim pieces

in the 70s station wagons were pretty top of the line

I personally love woodgrain. I think it adds a very luxurious feel to the car, painted interior peices, whether it be brushed aluminum or black, are sportier looking to me. I never had a problem in my old TL with the stick on woodgrain fading or peeling off. Have to be sure not to park in the sun even if ur tinted.
