    Default E34 Wood grain mods?

    I'm wondering what some of you guys have done with your wood grain. It looks gorgeous, but I'm trying to update the look of my interior a bit. I was thinking about covering it in some black alacantra-like material. Maybe painting it? What have some of you guys done? Any other interior mods would be awesome as well!

    Thanks,

    I like my wood trim, but my headliner is sagging, and i am thinking of replacing it with a different color when i replace it this summer.

    Jon K did that. You can ask him about it.

    I really like the charcoal (aka ebony -- though it's not really ebony) finish on the wood. Looks classy but not dated, IMHO.

    Here's a shot of my interior, my black alacantra shift and ebrake boots are being shipped as I type this...



    Also, the steering wheel cover is no longer there.
