That looks pretty fake. 3M actually makes some real looking wood vinyl that's glossy too.

I know it looks fake, just bored on fall break and I didn't feel like ordering and waiting since I only got this idea yesterday and break ends on monday

I'm not sure if i'll keep it on or not but I do like it a lot on the doors

That actually don't look too bad.
However, imo the wood in the GS is what give our car that luxurious look and feel not my cup of tea.

It looks pretty good, but I think it would look a lot better glossy.

I just bought the contact paper from lowes. I'll post some pics if it comes out decent.

OP, how has this mod worked out for you?
