Wood Paneling on an FD

Hey guys, I was looking around for parts and various things and came across this. I thought it was pretty interesting. Never seen someone add wood grain to their FD before.

This is like a car blog website where people post build threads and stuff.

Eww... no. Just, no.

Sometimes, just because you "can" does not mean that you should. 😂🤣😂

Someone had this at a car meet in AZ. It was on a MB car. I thought it went well with the color and looked cool. But not for me.

Its different.

The craftsmanship there is very impressive, but that's not a style I'd want in my FD.

Seems like years ago I’d see those ‘kits’ come up on eBay. Haven’t seen one for a long time and probably a reason for that.
I always felt the interior was maybe a little monochromatic, but it doesn’t deserve that. Just a little accent...something to go with the chrome gauge bezels is all.

I used to see those a lot in MKIV's back in the day.

Like many have said - not for me.

This is not an old Esprit. I may consider keeping it in such a "gentleman's" car. I would probably go cf. Even from the fc on I always thought if it wasn't carbon fiber, plastic, or leather it doesn't belong.
Each to their own though and yeah, I use to see these kits all the time for various cars.
