Too much "wood grain" for me. To each their own.

yup. vinyl sticker off ebay. at first it was just the trim i had it on. then i was like theres a crap load left so yup. woodgrain imo is for older people but i didnt want the trim to be silver and everything else black.

i like it. i always thought the painted shift gates looked weird but i think this flows very well. you should get the wood steering wheel to match.
i think ill probably do something like this one day. thanks for the idea

I think woodgrain is nice a lot of people see it as classy, but I see not many people are fans of it.
