So i posted this idea in an older post and no body replied , i have alot of ideas for my car , some are impossible to do without a fat wallet , some are simple , here is one of the simpler ideas :

i want to add custom amde wood trim in my car , in places that it shouldnt be :
RED --> places i want to put it in
Yellow --> maybe , if things turn out well

Here is what i PLAN to do :
I baught a pack of wood veneer , not the best but the wood looks good . i will finish it my self , cut it to size and then the problem begins ( You can buy prefinished, high quality , flexible veneer online for a price biggrin.gif ) The problem is how exactly to put it on there , if i just stick it on there using adhesive it would look cheap and the wood would be above the vinyl and ehh , what i am thinking of doing is using a knife to carve out a 1mm deep place for the wood into the vinyl , make a lil bit smaller that the actual wood and make pockets at the end like this /________\ and then squeeze the wood in with some adhesive and i am done , the only thing is that i am afraid that cutting the vinyl would leave marks all over the edges and make it look bad

PLEASE I NEED OPINIONS !!!! help me out with this project !! any ideas of how to put it on without making it look cheap ??? suggestion ??? THANX , i hope this works so that everybody can benefit.
