I'm the proud new owner of a G37-S 6 Speed Manual Coupe. I think I'm in love with my car, guys. I bought it used just a little less than 3 weeks ago. When I was looking at cars, I was also considering a used Mercedes or a used Cadillac in the same general price range. I did a lot of comparison, and in the end I set the 'brand names' aside and just looked at the characteristics of the vehicles themselves. The performance of the engine. The interior options. The handling. etc.. And I felt the Infiniti came out on top. Not one ounce of buyer's remorse here.
So, you can see from the other cars I was considering that I also value comfort and a touch of 'luxury'. My G37-S came with black leather upholstery, black interior and dash, light grey/tan headliner, and a brushed aluminum or brushed stainless steel trim around the center stack/console, dash, and waistrails on the doors. The way I came about finding this forum was through internet searches on genuine wood interior trim. I want to replace the brushed metal and a couple of other choice trim pieces with genuine wood trim, but I don't much care for the OEM wood from the factory (I understand it's rosewood) as it is available for around $1200 I believe (or so I have read on the forum here). I really have my heart set on a dark brown/red walnut burl to compliment the dark interior of my car.
I just don't know much about these 'kits' like Sherwood and B&I that adhere over the top of the existing trim. they say they offer genuine wood veneers as well as 'synthetic' (which is absolutely not an option). I'm not completely sure about doing that to my car, but I can't seem to find a viable alternative.
So, my quest for information about wood trim continues so far to no avail. I'm hoping you good people here at this forum have the answers I'm looking for.
A big hello and 'how do you do' to all NicoClubers
