Been curious what everyone uses for re-wooding their wagons, or if anyone had preferences in the aftermarket vendors.

I just bought some samples from MetroRestyling. Has anyone used their stuff before?

I have to say, I'm really digging the Mahogany. The redish hue kinda goes with the interior. Worth noting that the car would be repainted white before the wood is applied. Just thinking ahead.

I'm probably gonna buy another batch of darker wood samples to wrap the aluminum trim, similar to this:

Received the last batch of samples. Out of these the only one that was wagon worthy was Marine Teak Wood. Again, from MetroRestyling.

Here's the problem: the Marine teak on its own looks good. As does the Mahogany on its own. Put them next to each other, not so much. I don't think wrapping the trim in the Teak is going to work if I stick with the Mahogany, so I'm going to have have to think of something else for the trim. Maybe paint it? Not sure.

Intriguing, but I'm afraid the white vinyl and white paint won't match. lol

Haha. (I had seen the skulls and bones image before it got unlinked)

I don't know. I could strip the trim to bare aluminum, but on a white car it'll get lost like the rest of the chrome and stainless. While it would look sweet if I changed the color to black, it'd be a bit more maintenance keeping it looking classy. White is easier to deal with. Guess its back to looking at other wagons for references.
