Did a wood dash trim delete today

[DocHolliday]

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to stain the OEM veneer. My wife's Mercedes has some dark-grey stained wood trim that looks really good. I could see that working with the blacks and greys of the M3 interior. One concern would be how thin the veneer is and if it would hold up to (even mild) sanding...

Little video for you -

Will give you some idea of what is doable

Installed them on my Y couple years ago. It held up well until recently. Some of the edges are starting to lift. But the actual material is holding up well with no warping.
