in a grey cloth 1998 se interior, what would look better, the '92 woodgrain trim bezel or the stock black look?

Personal preference.

I find it easier to mod and add things that look factory with the charcoal stock color.

If you want a woodgrain bezel, I gots one to sell

the Stock black/grey look.....only cause ALL the other trim is the same color, and not the woodgrain

Never been a fan of the woddgrain myself

listen to all you damn woodgrain haiters.... WOODGRAIN all the way

I love woodgrain.........the type I burn in my wood stove

Column or console shift?

As mentioned.. modability. If you want cool stuff. SEM doesn't make a woodgrain paint that I'm aware of....it'* not a hater thing. GM changed after a short time because it was easier to fix.

FTW...do this on woodgrain
