I have the light burl now. I would think it would be pretty hard to get a true wood grain look with paint. This is why I was thinking of the brushed alum since it is a lighter color trim yet still sporty. The SG idea is really cookin' in the back of my head now though lol. EuroDyne is also going to start carrying silver CF fabric soon.

1. Alum w/ grey looks TOO light IMO.





2. Check eBay, there is a vendor who sells silver CF vinyl who I think a few members have gotten their stuff from.

Yeah, what Seth said. I've dealt with them before, and it kinda seems like they're either a bit understaffed or a bit unorganized because it takes them a while to respond to messages.

All that aside, they still come through with giving you the product you pay for. I'm currently waiting to get some M3 sideskirts from them

overall i'm not too pleased with myself, i don't have enough abrasive stuff to cut through some of the scratches that seth has. Car is much shinnier and is better protected BUT theres still swirls.

I have decided that i need a full orbital vs my flex so i'll probably be putting my flex up for sale here this week

Hmm, yeah I am thinking no wood. Wood makes it seem a little "old" and if I wanted something like that I would have looked for the 5 series.
