I have wood
-
It looks good, I think. At least the center stack does. The door panels and the switch panels is a lot, but at least it's something other than black plastic.
Out of the car....

Looks great!

@tripper Thanks! What this experience has really taught me is how filthy my car currently is.
-
@sovande and now, so do I.
-
Fancy! Looks really good, matches well with the leather

Oh, that looks very nice!

And wood grain decals down the sides, right?...Right?

@sovande who makes those panels? They look really nice.
-
@chariotoflove Obviously. I don't want to look like an asshole.
-
@bootstrap Volvo makes them! They are the trim for the long wheelbase Inscription model S60 from 2016-2018, I think. You may have been able to get it in the V60CC as well. It's real walnut laminate, apparently. The way it's priced you would think it was real gold laminate.

OMG if that isn't the truth. Reminding me of my car stereo days...smokers cars were the worst

@tripper I need to get in there and give it a good scrubbing. And a vacuum for crying out loud.
-
@chariotoflove Maybe wood grain flames?
Is it wrong that I kinda want to do flames with wood grain on something now?
Found an example photo but can’t add. -
@kiltedpadre That sounds beautiful.
-
@sovande I’m thinking Roadmaster sedan, blower, and wood grain flames. A little trashy yet stylish
-
@sovande it's appropriately Swedish. That's a big improvement.
-
@sovande That looks unbelievable good.
-
@kiltedpadre Exactly. Something that says "I like to get weird" but with class.
-
@sovande very nice. I love the modern Volvo matte wood finishes
-
@sovande Unsurprisingly, the first gen XC60 uses similar if not identical panels. They are a lot nicer than the fake wood trim in my S60.
-
@facw Yes, it is used across the lineup. They also have it in the new SPA cars.
-
@sovande Ooo, that looks very nice!!!

That pick-up line hasn’t worked for me yet. But one day. One day.

@trivet I'm old, but 25 years ago in college what worked at the same rate as any other attempt at getting into some sweaty, thick, desperate, lonely lady's undergarments was "We should go out in the parking lot and make out."
Hard to imagine I never married.

@sovande Looks great!
