Default Wood Grain trim in a F-Body?

Anyone ever do that wood grain trim in an f-body? It would probably look like *** but I just can't picture it in my head to decide.. Any pics or links would be appreciated.

I don't think it would look good at all. But maybe someone can surprise me.

Wood grain doesn't really belong in these cars.

my dads 72 monte has a nice burle wood insert for the dash

I think the only car to pull off the look as far as 4th gens would be a polo green lt1 car with tan and black interior with a little wood. Even then thats a stretch.

I think it COULD look good. Maybe just a few inserts on the doors etc, but definitely not anything close to the full dash/console like in the pic.

Putting wood grain in an Fbody would be like having a ******** removed. Why the hell would you do it?

Keep your woodgrain in your Jags, Bentlys, Benzes, and Cadillacs.
