Default Painted woodgrain and other interior pieces

So was thinking of painting over the wood grain, around the gauge cluster and around the air vents in the center above the radio. I have a silver 2001 and would color match it to the exterior and have it professionaly done. I know that most of you would never do this mod but i think it will give the car more of a sporty look. I am just testing the waters here and am not 100% going to do this, but wanted to get some outside reactions. Thanks for your opinions-

I think highly polished with a whole lot of clear coats could look neat but not for me.

A quick search turned up this old thread. GlobeCLK did the exact mod you are describing even down to the color.
