You can check on ebay for auctions where sellers are listing individual pieces or [sometimes] sets. Another option you may want to look into is getting all the pieces you wanted hydro dipped to whichever wood grain/pattern that you like.

If you've got the cash, I recommend getting them water transfer printed rather than the gell stickons. They look better and more natural as if they came with the car that way.

When you submit your inquiry/order, the company will give you a book or refer you to a website that has the patterns they have available and you choose from those patterns. The overall finish will be determined by the base coat color and the pattern you've chosen.

Heres one of many places that do it:

http://www.watertransferprinting.com/

Go to that site, click on "film gallery" on the top, then click "wood grain" on the right scroll down to the bottom to the burlwood WTP-496 (thats the most likely match to ours). Click on "contact" on the bottom left and inquire with an email or phone call in regards to cost... Then repost numbers here

they treat/print on the actual pieces from your car. You have to remove the piece from your car that you want done. Be it, your dome light surround, ash tray, interior door pulls, cup holder cover, etc. Its the entire piece, opposed to a sticker on the piece. Hope that helps...

What part of the car are you looking to add woodgrain? Isn't that what all the VIP tables and stuff are for?
