So, I'm still in my 'pre-build date' planning and buying frenzy, apparently.
I've been looking at galleries of interior pictures, and just can't get used to the faux wood grain panels that are on the interior door panels, just behind each pull handle. They just look too... well... fake woody. My current truck has some black inserts there, which matches the black interior so much better.
Other than swapping out the entire interior door panel (on all four doors!), I don't see a way to change that trim panel. What I mean is it appears to be integral to the panel, not a separate replaceable trim piece from the door panel.
I see some aftermarket coverups available: Vinyl in a couple different finishes - which seem really cheap... Actual carbon fiber formed appliques (which must adhere over the faux wood) - which seem really expensive... I would want it too look good, but not be exorbitantly expensive.
So, yeah, I know now that I could have gone with a Platinum... But, well, I ordered a Lariat. So, any recommended products that work well? Or, just as importantly, any warnings about something that maybe isn't a quality solution? Or, maybe it's just the pictures I'm seeing. If you think it looks fine, and you've got a Lariat with the black interior, please post a picture or two - and perhaps save me some money and time, as maybe the pics I'm seeing aren't representative enough!
Thanks! This forum is the best.
