When I installed my wood kit, I noticed that the edges of most of the pieces where curved into the backing material. I think you'll find that when you do cut (90 degree angle) it will look so different then the rest of the other pieces that it will stand out quite a bit.

If you were to cut at an angle, you would see some of the inner material show through and would probably look horrible as well.

Depending on whether you feel 200 is too much to spend for customization of this piece (I think it is), the retrodrive method would probably look much much nicer.

BTW what are you doing with the rest of the kit you purchased...you have full wood interior already?
Not necessarily...Manuel I have a couple of extra pieces that I cut up to just to try out to see how they look....I'll show you friday or saturday when you come over...they really don't look that bad at all...

Default Oh well

I guess no one read what I had to say about the cutting of the wood and the affect it will have on the laquer coating ........If you guys have found a way around this let me know and I will get on the band wagon to purchase a piece as well

Cut the holes and then send the coating round them with fine sandpaper. Then take a plastic polish and make it look nice.
