carbon with wood?

I know most of you will get seriously offended, but how about wood handles and grab handles with the rest of the trim in carbon fiber? I already have the OEM carbon fiber kit all over. the last missing pieces are the door handles/grab handles and the shifter. how about wood?? I think it would be a great contrast not to mention unique? here is what i have now

I dunno. I think the dark wood may contrast a bit much over the carbon fiber. If it was me I'd keep it all carbon fiber.

light or dark wood - i have the light wood with the carbon. i think i posted a pic on an earlier thread you started?

either choice would look great - no wood in a sports car is crazy. go look at old machines and you will see lots of wood.

the smooth grab handles on the console feel really great - beats the leather.

Don't mix, it will look very very bad!

Go carbon fiber or leave it the way it is.

Also get rid of that horrible Cayenne emblem on your dash!
Way too big, looks retarded, sorry!!
You could donate it to a Touareg owner.

Nice steering wheel, looks great!
