Wood Trim

Anyone do any wood trim in their thirdgen? I found a couple of sites that sell kits ($200 - $300). Any experience on quality, difficulty? Ant pictures?

Thanks

I've never felt that the wood worked well in a Camaro interior. The camaro interior is all cheap plastic, and adding wood trim to a cheap plastic interior results in a "wood trim over cheap plastic" appearance. IMHO you gotta start out with a "luxury" interior for wood to work.

But anyway, it all attaches to totally flat surfaces, so any quality brand should have no problems making nice fitting pieces.
