Wonder if he would rework our originals. Will contact and advise as he seems to have talent.

Tastes vary, of course.

To my eye it would (no pun intended) be too much of a good thing. On 1950s Jags and other 'ye olde world' cars lots of wood is expected. On a modern-ish car I think restraint is needed.

Cheers

But. it isn't wood!!!! At first glance, they appear to be so. The name implies that they are. The description clarifies. Send in the originals. he applies the wood grain technique. Paint!!! Considerable skill and looks almost right. But, it is a taste thing.


Kinda like big wood steering wheels are slick, but just don't look quite right. Even the wood rimmed ones look just a tad off, but closer.


That taste thing.

Not quite sure what to think of this. It's definitely a custom design, and pretty well done for what it is, but I can't imagine ever wanting wood A pillars in my Jag. Apparently someone does if he's selling the service on eBay!

I will contact him and see if he can do my black ski slope.
The windshield pillars are too much for me.

That's a good idea. I too could use a refreshed ski slope. Let us know his response.
