What wood is it?

[MoclovFlop]

I was just curious if anyone knew what type of wood that (terrible) stuff is supposed to be inside GT's, specifically2000 BE models (if it's different between years/Models). It's probably just something Subaru made up that doesn't resemble any thing...but just seeing if any one knows.

Its plastic..At least thats what I have in my 2000 LGTL

Yes, Captain Obvious, it's plastic. What he's asking is what wood is the plastic wood grain in the cars supposed to look like. I don't know if it's different through the years or not, but on Subaru.com, for the 07 GT Limited sedan, they mention "Chestnut woodgrain patterened" accents.

Burlwood maybe...

Mahogany?

i painted mine, anyone have a pic? if it has dark circles and whirls it's burlwood (i don't think they'd model it after birds-eye maple :grin: )

I was thinking burlwood too, but something just seems different (probably the fact that there's sparkles in it?!?!) I havent been able to find anything that mentions what they were going for in terms of type.

In case any one is wondering I was asking because I'm going to make a nice shift knob for my Wood working class (industrial design class) Kind of modeled after the wood JDM BE knob but with a few nice details :smile: Thanks for everyone's help, I'll just get a few samples and see what matches the closest.

My 95 has 3 random wood grain trim bezels, I could never understand why the shifter area, and the passenger and driver side window controls were the only places they put them.
