Stainless steel in place of woodgrain

[81cutlass]

My eventual goal with my cutlass is to take off all the cheezy badges and stuff. The woodgrain doesnt help it any at all, so Im wondering if anyone has done anything to replace the woodgrain with anything else? I was thinking either get some stainless pieces to either cover the wood or remove it completely and put something in its place. I need new door panels anyways (a previous owner must have had 6 inch long nails or something because they are all scratched up.) Getting rid of the the carpet at the bottom, getting rid of the handle on the top and tearing off all cursive lettering is also on the list. As you can see, they are about 6 different colors.

EDIT: heres a picture too

I was thinking of stainless myself on top of 1/4 plexiglass lighted from the back with neon. I am going to do where the carpet was on the bottom of the doors, the dash and not sure where else yet. I can get scrap pieces for free from my friend so that helps. I might not even use the plexiglass and just bump out the stainless and light it that way. Saves me some money.

Another thing you can do is have the stainless turned.
