Default Exciting stuff

This looks like great stuff. I wonder how it looks with a raw edge of does it need to be wrapped and the edges hidden? Also, It looks to me like a vacuum bag is needed. I am interested in this and hope someone trys it. I'd like to do something with the silver panels around the center stack of my KDSS GX. Al

So the GX470's trim is real wood or fake wood?

Wow. Hate to be the guy at the factory who has to hand carve all that wood for the cars. Well, I guess it's all machine made anyway.

I just read on wikipedia that birds eye maple is the rarest wood in the world. I still hate the trim in the gx though! LOL. Someone needs to do the neffy wrap. I am so tempted.

I was just wondering, if someone here plans on covering their Bird's Eye Maple trim near the 4wd drive selector with the Neffy wrap, would they be interested in trading that piece? I have a piece in Bird's Eye Maple, but it has a crack in the clearcoat...however, I am sure it would never be noticed with the Neffy wrap on top of it...I am willing to pay for shipping and such, maybe a little extra on the side for your generosity...please let me know! THANKS SO MUCH!!
