some pics....no more woodgrain

[2000.malibu.ls]

what do you guys think about using carbon fiber over the woodgrain?

I think on your car you might pull it off, but i will warn you it is a b*tch to cover with unless you man up and buy the good vinyl that is stretchable.

i did that on my gp dash as well when i put in my sunpro gauges

How did you do the black? Is that a vinyl sticker over the wood, or does the wood peel off or something?

Looks great! This is one of the first things I did with my '84 SS when I had it. Personally, I really dislike woodgrain and have never understood why auto manufacturers feel compelled to put it in so many cars.

As mentioned - in a Cutlass it's even worse as there are three different shades/styles in the same car! ...my parent's 87 is like this. I really like the 87 442 trim, but good luck finding some at a decent price.
