I doubt that. Just look at the factory woodgrain trim. Vinyl may have improved, but my sign guy says the vinyl only holds up so long, On his high end stuff he clears it under to prevent edges from lifting.

That was a great idea and it looks excellent, I'm sure it will last a long time on a well cared for truck. You should talk to a sign shop and see what they can do. I know of a guy who built a truck years ago...twice! He was a true freak. The second time he did all the woodgrain inside and out in a lighter colored wood veneer, It looked really nice,
