Hkk, thats one hellof a ride bro

CF interior would be sweet.

 

ok, since everyone says brushed aluminum or CF has anybody ever done aluminum stuff like that? it doesn't look tocomplicated but neither does the car itself little did I know....

 

I think it will be extremely difficult to pull off unless you are a professional. Not to be pessimistic, but think about it. If you look at your trim, you will notice that it has lots of curves. The edges of your trim panels (especially the door strips and the strips on the dash) all have rounded edges with a slight "bow" to them.

Now think about a flat sheet of aluminum. I'm assuming that unless you have the ability to heat it up really well, you won't be able to bend the metal to fit the curves without kinks and creases.

The other challenge that you'd have to get over is that adding a layer of metal to your trim will change its size and thus cause fitment issues. The panels may not go back on.

I would most definitely take it to a professional to get it done. You could probably find somebody to do it.

But if you ask me, you're in for much less of a hassle and cost just getting the pieces refinished by a professional refinisher. If they strip all of your interior wood trim, you could ask them to go with a much more unique color. Hell, I've even seen people use gray dies and stains. You'd be able to see the grain pattern, but it would be gray. That would be a very unique look. I dunno it could end up looking like *** though.

In terms of the burl vs. straight-grained zebrano, obviously it's just a matter of opinion. As a hobbiest woodworker it's hard for me not to appreciate the walnut burl since it's much more rare and uniqe. But again, it's a matter of opinion. And I've found that most peoples' opinions closely coincide with what they own. Who knows if that's just a matter of convenience, or if the purchase decision was made with the wood in mind. lol, but I'm not exception. I have burl, and I like it better than my father's zebrano. Go figure! lol

 

Sound like me when I first got my car. The car was black with grey interior and only had sebrano wood grain in the center console only, not the doors or dash, so what did I do I took the panel and painted it black Now it looks more uniformal than it did before since the upper halk of the dash was that black color as well. As for metal its not in me to go that route.
