Next box, veneer instead of carpet?

So once I get back from NY, I plan on building a sealed box for my 12W7 (to spec). I don't really like the carpet look and think some veneer would add some kind of tight look to the box. Here is the kind of veneer I would be putting on it http://www.salksound.com/gallery/ht1-bubinga02.jpg What do ya'all think?

IMO...that side veneer is a bit to "goddy" for an enclosure. The front stuff is better

But other than that veneer is definetly different than your average carpet job.

I was planning on doing a veneer enclosure since its so unique.

well my friend is awsome on doingthat stuff for drums and guitars, so he is going to hook me up and do it on my box. The box will cost me around 30 bucks in supplies to build and another 15 for the veneer, so even if it comes out off i wont be out much money

It'll cost you about the same for carpet.

Sweet, something unique. I like it, what kind of car?

I think it depends on the car.... If its a Bently with alot of wood in the interior... it'll match. However, if you put that in a Geo Metro... It'll look like shit.

My mom did her bathroom in bubinga... it's a very nice wood.

Depends on the car whether it'll look good or not.

It's a Lexus GS300 (1998) - There is any wood grain in the trunk (obvouisly) put there is a little in the cabin. I am going to start on it next week so I will have pictures for ya'all.

Oh yeah and I have a false floor built in made out of 1/2" mdf. Its not really a false floor, just replacing the stock trunk liner because it couldn't hold up the weight of the box. The floor is carpted to match my current box, what if I put some veneer on that floor and a little lighter/darker veneer on the box? **** that would be pimp
