I am finally ready to say good by to the wood. I love the wood but it's a shame it is so faded and cracked. Boo.
Where do you find the silver cube wrap? I think that is the direction I want to go.
I also may take the trim into a shop and have it painted gloss black. Not sure yet.

If you go with Black try a DIY. I painted one of the wood grain panels in my truck flat black and it turned out good. It's been 2 years and still looks great! I will see if I have the before and after photos still.
Here's how I did it.
- Use 200 grit wet/dry sandpaper and gently rough it up.
- Clean it with Alcohol
- I used the Krylon Fusion paint for plastics and applied 3 even coats.
Let each coat dry for 5-10 minutes.
- Applied 2 coats of Satin clear coat.

Ah crud! I could have sworn there was a wrap.
Looks like it's back to the drawing board. It's either piano black or I am still weighing the idea of wrapping with a black wood grain wrap then having a paint shop gloss it. By glossing it I hope it will give it some depth and make it look like legit wood. I may get a small bit of the wrap, wrap something, and have it glossed to test the theory.

Yep. Figured its better than plastidip. I think it looks pretty darn good.

I've been wanting to try the plasti-dip carbon fiber myself but haven't gotten around to it yet. There's not really anything wrong with my wood trim I just want something different than the wood trim. Good luck!

I always liked the carbon wrap but there are some that raise a brow to it as it is not 'oem'
On the hunt for the cleanest lowest mileage ZHP sedan!
