Here are some quick photoshop mockups of wood treatment in a stone grey sedan. Not exact, not as glossy, but gets the point across.

OEM brown/red wood look


Black wood trim.


Random bright red wood treatment.

That black overlay is going to look nice. I've been trying to figure out what the best trim would be for our interior as I'm not a fan of the washi silver. It seems to chip very easily. If you end up doing that black overlay I'd be interested to see how it turns out.

Im still trying to decide brushed black metal or black wood. Having a hard time finding wood vinyl that I like. Most of them look waaay too fake. Found one that looked sick, metallic black wood, but they only ship within the US, and Im too lazy to deal with that lol.

CARSMO ***** on satin finish wood trim is absolutely stunning (British accent)

I do love the CARSMO *****, but for my money right now, I'll be going with these! I have too many large $$ purchases to do. Maybe once all that is done I'll get the CARSMOs. Thanks for the pics! I knew there had to be an option that cost less than $60-100

I know what you mean. I have wanted these ever since I found this thread but new oil, Transmission flush, differential flush & transfer case flush, Vinyl, GT-R button and other odds and ends have taken priority since I've owned the car.

That looks like the older model wood trim from 2008 and prior coupe.

LED Fog Lights

Hey everyone,

I was not keen on spending a bunch of dough to replace the yellow looking fogs on the car, so I ended up going with a LED replacement off of Amazon:

Amazon Amazon

I am really digging the finished look. Matches up well with my Osram CBIs.
