I'll be doing mine next weekend if the weather isn't awful and the rose gold arrives on time. I'll post a link here.
Mine will be:
Ebony Metallic Wood Vinyl (to cover cheap, glossy wood)
Rose Gold Vinyl (to cover chrome- door handles, frame of center around gear select, frame of center console button, logo on wheel, air conditioning vent adjuster strip)
Black Alligator Leather (center console, accent panels in door inserts)
I was considering a real dark wood look also, and did come across that ebony metallic wood. I'm sure it'll look real nice and look forward to seeing it.
I didn't plan early enough to get to this while off for xmas, so it'll probably be on the back burner for a bit for me.
Hopefully others continue to post what they've done or would like to do.

As for the ebony metallic, it isn't very dark. It's a darker wood to be sure but here's a picture for better reference.
I'm not getting the rose gold in time to do the work this weekend. So, maybe Sunday after this coming.
I've done a lighter ebony wood grain vinyl on my trim before. I recently redid my vinyl to a darker wood grain, almost black looking. however, i don't have pics of those at the moment.
^^^That actually looks pretty good, and looks like a very nice job on the install too.
Yep! What B said. I like the look. Hard to tell from a few photos, but what I really liked about the 3M Ebony Metallic was that it was printed with some tactile grain. The finish on this stuff looks legitimately like wood more than some of the other samples I've tried.
I figured I'd really try and get this one right considering the tear-down and time involved. I ordered well more than 20 samples and really liked a few of them. I'll say that every Carbon Fiber I've looked at (with one exception) was really nice and played with the light in the cabin beautifully. But, I just can't be three hundred thousandth person to do it.
Also, this is a very strange Smiley option > just sayin.

as i mentioned earlier that i re-vinyled the interior wood grain. took a quick shot of it. it pretty black looking with hint of wood grain. i think i slightly prefer the lighter gray tho, but still good looking i think. Good thing with vinyl, you can always remove and redo!
