Wood Interior

I'm most likely going to replace the trim in my interior with one of our forum vendors products (I don't know which one yet). Has anyone seen a C6 with a wood interior trim. I was looking at APSIS site and I think it would look real nice with the sienna 4LT interior and AO exterior. Here is a picture from his site.

Carbon fiber is also another option.

If it were me I would go with the carbon fiber look, I think it fits the corvette image and look better than wood.

Never liked the plastic wood look... I believe bushed aluminum is the best look for the vette interior... IMHO

Wood exterior would be cool.

Panels mixed in with your favorite vette color. Have them interconnect to the front of the car.

IMO, take a look at the brushed aluminum that somone had suggested, could be a very nice and very unique look

Ok, it doesn't look like a popular choice. I'll most likely go with carbon fiber since it is easy to find engine bay parts in carbon fiber also. I'm trying to remember what car I saw that looked good with a wood interior. Probably British since they seem to like those things.
