DIY Hardwood flooring for trunk/hatch and wooden dead pedal

[ObiWanJabr0ni]

I had some leftover Vinyl Laminate hardwood flooring from a project and decided to use it to line the hatch/trunk floor. Got some chipping on the laminate from using a jigsaw to cut it but I filled in most of those little problem areas with sharpie, you honestly can't tell in person unless it's pointed out.

I also wanted to add a wood overlay to the dead pedal/foot rest. I was going to use the same wood as the rear but because it was flooring, I couldn’t put a chamfer/beveled edge on it without it looking like crap. I used a scrap piece of Bolivian Rosewood I had lying around, cut it out on the bandsaw, added the Acura logo on my laser, put about 5-6 coats of lacquer on it, and slapped some automotive 3M tape and stuck it on top of the stock foot rest. I am probably going to add a matching textured woodgrain vinyl wrap to the center console so it flows better.

Do the dash insert and door card inserts too. Let's turn this baby into a 90's Lexus.

Oh god. I’d like tasteful wood accents sparingly but 90s Lexus’ was overkill haha.

I have never been a fan of wood grain in a car, but I can and do admire the craftsmanship you put in. I can appreciate the amount of work put into it as well. Good Job!
