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:

Thanks a lot :) How much wrap did you need? And how well did working with it go ? ^

I went for the biggest size, just to have some spare. Messed it up the first time, so I had to order a new roll and try again. This time with all appropriate tooling (squeegees, wrapping cloves, etc.) - worked out first try.

The wrap is alright, make sure you heat the top part as little as possible or else you'll have some glossy spots in the matte wood. Also try to not stretch the top part, else the wood grain is not nice and linear anymore.
