No. Reminds me of a Caravan. LoL I thought about carbon fiber, though.

Wood is for a Jaguar, not a PontiacToyota. Just an opinion.

I'd go for the rosewood, although it would look best if you got aftermarket black leather seating as well. I thought about carbon fiber while I was waiting all those months for the delivery of my Vibe, but when it arrived, I realized that the dash trim was pretty good looking silver metalflake (almost). So I'm sticking with that. At least until I see someone else's Vibe with a different dash trim.

I yeah, I did. I think that it would look really good, better than that silver look that is there. I am thinking about it...are you going to do it?

Not really, as I am somewhat happy with the interioir dash. I find it suits the interior rather well!.........However everything is possible!

Some suppliers claim to use real wood or carbon fiber. I'm still wondering if these are replacement panels or thin, flexible overlays that stick over the existing plastic.

they are overlays. nobody makes actual replacement pieces. And if they someone makes them expect to pay an arm and a leg for them.
