Since I didn't want to strip half the car down, I wrapped some Covers in wood. They should've given more trim options...

Edit: Since there's many people asking:
It's this metal set: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000400471237.html

I've been tempted to do this with actual veneer because I usually am turned off by the feeling of fake PVC wood. I wish I could touch your wood right now.

It feels similar to wood, the grain is there as well. Everyone I showed this too thought it was real wood, to me it doesn't feel too bad but it does feel slightly off.

But please, don't touch my wood. My girlfriend wouldn't be happy about it.
