Door panel wood covering... Good idea or not?
I had some of this Carbon Fiber decal at the house and figured I would give it a try... What do you guys think?

looks nice! but personally a tad bit sporty for my taste....if you like the sporty look i would get custom brushed aluminum panels...if you want to keep the luxury look then go with blackwood

Never a fan of fake CF. I would say either blackwood or something like TTurboPimp's brushed aluminum.

Actually, it looks pretty good. It kinda takes away the luxury of the wood, but makes it sporty. Would look nice for Blue / Blue Onyx GS.

I like the Brushed Aluminum look alot too, and the Blackwood too. This was just a test to see if was the only one that was kinda iffy on this.

looks nice, with beige interior its hard to decide on what finish , I normally don't like anything dark on tan interiors unless your car is a dark color and since yours is blk than a darker finish wood look good but not brushed with tan interior. hey doesn't hurt to try new things.
