Even then, it has to look like quality stuff. Cheap wood grain just looks stupid in anything.

The previous owner of my car had that whole woodgrain kit on the interior pieces. It took me about an hour to pull it all off and remove the adhesive it left behind. I don't feel like Rico Suave anymore and it looks much better without it.
