Here are some pics... before... during... and after...

I was a little worried about the light trim, but I like how it turned out with the grey interior.

Thanks Nerweezy, The door panels were interesting, had to take the door panels off to remove the handle trim. A task only to be done after disconnecting the battery, since side-airbags were involved.

Very interesting, nicely done! How long did it take you to do the whole thing? Where did you order the new trim parts from? How much did the whole project cost you? I may have to do the same thing if I can't find a 5 series with bamboo trim that I want.

Whats involved in removing the trim from the car? Personally, I'm not a fan of the wood in my car and was thinking about removing it to have it wrapped.

Piano Black would have been a better choice (in my opinion).
