Wood dash kit?

[MachHI]

I love wood grain in cars, to me there is nothing more attractive. Anyone heard of a company planning a wood dash kit for the MME?

Could you describe what parts of the dash you would use wood trim on? I’m having a problem picturing it? (This from a former Jaguar owner - they know a thing or to about very tasteful word trims in autos.)

I've got a strip of carbon fiber going across my dash on the premium, not sure what other configurations have but ideally replace the carbon fiber with wood.

Got it! BTW, I’m pretty sure that’s not “real” carbon fiber. Just an appliqué.

I've thought about this too; I kinda like the wood look as well. If you're particularly handy, I bet you could get some super thin wood veneer from a hobby/woodworking shop (Rockler comes to mind) and try laying it out in shapes similar to the surfaces already on the dash. Alternately, you could try a wood-print vinyl, but I'm not sure how cheap those look.

Bingo, I started a thread in December hoping someone would weigh in on how to remove that very same 'carbon fiber' trim to replace or wrap in wood. I had the exact same thought: I miss the warmth of the Giga-trim i3 I first fell in love with, in terms of EVs, and want to bring some of that in.

Yeah I loved the wood interior of my Mercedes B250e If I could get some of that look in the MME it really would be my perfect vehicle.

Ouch, that Pontiac looks like a cross between a Vega and a Pinto (Station wagon versions)

You mean this Pinto in the background? (behind my Triumph GT6+)

I dig those aero wheel covers! Do they improve the range?
