    Hey.
    I am never going to be able to own a proper "woody" stationwagon , here in the UK, gas is so expensive, it is not an option .

    But I love them.

    I have finally manged to get 12 rolls of 3m woodgrain vinyl from the US, and plan to use it on my UK Carens.

    What do you think, both sides, tailgate only, thin strip , door posts only.....

    I guess you either likesomething or youdont...

    If you can make it look like your avatar pic, that 'wood' be good......

    The Carens was known as the Rondo over here in the U.S. last sold new in model year 2011 IIRC......

    I don't know about that, KK. I think it looks kinda sharp as is...

    Only thing I would do different is, try to find some tan vinyl tape. The fender skirt is anice touch also.

    Seriously though, if it did match your avatar it would look sharp:)

    Phantom Woody

    Hey.

    10mm and 5mm cream tape is already ordered and on the way. My problem is, if I actually copy my avatar, it is more woody than a real "woody".

    To achieve the height from chrome bottom moulding to the beltline I would have to join two strips, (only 18" high and 8' long).

    I would like to have a bit of a nod to a woody, but realise it could look really stupid if I dont do it right. But I'm gonna do it!
