For most, woodgrain finishes are a thing of the past. Sure, some manufacturers still like to fill the cabins of luxury models with real wood, but wood finishes on the exterior? No thanks, boomer. The aftermarket is a demand-sensitive creature, however, and at the mere whisper of an idea, a product will pop up. This seems to be the case with the aftermarket woodgrain paneling now on offer by Wagonmaster, a Grand Wagoneer restoration shop in Texas. Wagonmaster already makes kits for the original car, so it was easy work to mock up the design and make it fit perfectly on the flowing lines of the new car. The company uses high-tech automotive-grade vinyl. The end result is… interesting. Due to the slightly slanted front and rear end of the Grand Wagoneer, the side panels look like they break the flow of the vehicle’s side profile, but at least the rear hatch piece kind of works.
