covers are fine as long as it's real aluminum. Can you tell me where?

Thx

Underneath the stock wood grain is brushed aluminum. Our trim is real wood but not solid wood. Go to a junk yard and pick up a small piece o trim to test with. (you can sand down the thin wood. my bro accidentally removed his wood grain by using an abbrasive stain or shalack?? )
You might like the way it looks and that would be an inexpensive, less tacky, easier way of accomplishing what your looking for. And if you dont like the results, throw away the junkyard trim, no harm done to your lex.

I think this would look rather futuristic and pretty damn cool. I would not be interested on my own car, but I would like to see this accomplished and installed. I think it would be something to see at the very least.

If you are able to CLEANLY remove the trim, the metal looks pretty darn good. I recommended that my bro stick with the metal look. But he choose not to b/c there is no other surface like that in the interior to match with. To each his own. I think it’s a good look. Maybe adding other silver accents elsewhere to complement the metal trim would make it fit in better....

I got the idea after seeing soemnone selling a hot steering wheel here (the Momo x avion or something like that) with aluminum accents.

Yeah, this was what I wanted to do too...only after many frustrating hours of sanding like a madman, then using a grinding wheel only to go thru the thin aluminum underneath (the extremely thin aluminum is layered — then there's more wood!) I would advise everyone against this. This is sheer madness...
