on their dash and door panels? With niteshades? Lightly tinted. I have looked at the brown carbon fiber wrap and the "dips" but I wonder what the wood grain would look like if it was lightly tinted black like my wife's Platinum F-150 had. It had the black interior. Mine is tan and brown Longhorn interior. Does the "grain" even go all the way thru if it were to be sanded to spray with the niteshades? Anyone know?

The wood grain is just a hydro dip, it has no depth to it at all, you can easily sand it off. Now, if you want to tint it then use a pigmented clear coat, not niteshades because niteshades has a purple base colour and will turn the wood an odd colour. The other, and better looking option is to paint and hydro dip a different wood pattern and colour.

Another option is to have someone airbrush it to look like wood but in B&W.
