Wood trim decals?

I was reading in one of my parts catalogues, and they sell woodgrain decal kits for the lower trim. I have the lower woodgrain on my highlander LWB now, but it is all bent up and not reuseable. I don't mind the look of the trim, but I don't like how it collects road grime and corrodes the metal behind it. I was wondering if it would be possible, or even worth it, to take a woodgrain decal set for the trim and install it directly onto my truck after I paint it, without the trim to stick it to, just stick the pieces onto the paint, and maybe trim them with a chrome pinstripe. Anyone ever done this, or have any idea whether or not it would even work?

I looked, and it looks like it would work from the amount the woodgrain overlaps on the factory pieces. Maybe I'll be the first to try this mod.

It would be like the old station wagons that had woodgrain decal sides .I do like the side trim,but like You said,You have to be careful of rust.
