Here is what the trim now looks like in my car. Camera usually has good pics, but lighting was off from sunlight, hence the window shades. Anyways, I like the redish brown color, its a nice upgrade I think. However, I think I got a little too excited, plus, being pressed for time, so I didn't give the finish enought time to dry, so I will be touching up the job later. Even the plastic pieces came out looking nice I think. I also have a a flat wood panel from a 300E (see previous pics) that I got to replace the 6-cassette tape boxes, but then again I thought that it would not look right with a blank space of just wood unless I made a hinge or something that flips up to reveal a storage compartment....not quite sure yet. I may just leave the tape holders and paint the black trim around it the same redish-brown color , I'm still debating. Let me know what you guys of the job and how it looks. I know this is a cheap way to get an updated wood trim look, but I have searched all over to look for someone that offered Japanese cherry wood trim for my model and I have not seen anything.
