    Ok, so I'm really getting sick of the fake "wood-grain" garbage in my truck. I have never been a fan of it, but I feel like it's now time to actually do something about it. I've had a couple thoughts, but I'm not sure what they'll look like so I was hoping someone would be willing to try a couple of them out for me. The first thought I had was to color match the wood grain to the outside of my truck. Next was a carbon fiber pattern (this is my ideal plan, but I don't know how I would go about getting an overlay), and then either paint it black or a Metallic silver. But ya, here is a picture of my interior, and a picture of my truck so you know what colour the paint is. If you have any ideas of your own feel free to try them out. Thanks in advance!

    Agreed 100%! But like I said, I don't know where I would go about getting an overlay or something like that. I've seen a couple kits, but nothing that would have fit the style of center console that I have...

    I didn't know the FX4's came with a carbon fiber insert. But another problem is that would they have the automatic climate control option? If not, then they won't fit properly.

    Buy a Carbon Fiber kit or just spray it matte black. I'm with ya on the wood grain, I've never liked it since the 2004's hit the lots. It was one of those things that I wondered what Ford was thinking. It look more 70's wood paneling then anything. :jester:
