You can go to a carwrap place and they can make anything you want. Your car body color may determine what looks best on it.

Find a long, wide piece of exotic wood that looks good with your body color, and have the carwrap place make a sheet for the side of your car.

I was going to ask the same thing. Do you know of any places that make it? I want to replicate something similar to the old Kingswood trim like this:

3 M makes wood grain in rolls about 30" wide and 20 feet long, I have used it in the past...but beware It will cost you $$ about $85 per roll.
Real easy to install just buy the 3m install kit - it comes with spray bottle , squeegee and special solution to help in the application..one hint buy more
solution and use LOTS.

Cool thanks for the info. Seems this stuff is pretty hard to find. I'll have to do some digging. But I did find a link that had some product numbers:

try stripeman.com
3m has a very good remover for the wood grain AND the adhesive.

Funny, after a quick google of "3M Woodgrain" that was the first place to pop up. since the rolls are 22x90", how many rolls would need to do a whole wagon, i'm thinking like 3 or 4? I dont see any 20' long rolls.
