Swap out from rice paper to Rosewood interior?

Is this something that can be done? I might want to try this in the future - can it be done after the fact?

there is a thread in here somewhere that a guy bought an after market kit for $200 and was going to post pics after he installed it but i never saw it. I will look thisafter noon.

I too like the rosewood and will consider changing to it.

That was me. I just sent the kit back to Sherwood Dash. The wood was a perfect match for the rosewood, but the cut of the pieces was such that there was no way to hide all of the washi trim.

It was especially bad around the radio buttons. Even worse, the door spears required two pieces, wood for the top, and a chrome piece for the bottom.

I sent it back and told them that it wasn't worthy of a $40K+ car.

I will say the wood looks good in the car. It's all a matter of taste, but the wood is my preference. I'm sure you are talking over $1,000 to get the factory pieces installed.
