The ashtray and cupholder "wood" is just a sticker.

I don't care what it is,which would u rather have, lol i didn't know they clearcoated stickers and they were a quarter inch thick, u cant just rip this off, its a perfect fit,it looks like it was from the factory, by far the best one ive ever seen on this forum.. Ecstatic! That ashtray alone goes for $250 used on ebay I got this whole thing for WAY less than that.

I hate those fake wood stickers. I don't mind the appearance, I just prefer the stock look. The reason I hate the fake wood stickers is that when I bought my car used the previous owner had applied these fake wood stickers everywhere. It was a true pain to get them all off and as I took them off they caused a lot of damage to the plastic that was underneath
