They're not wood, they're printed vinyl overlays with a thick coat of lacquer. And they look terrible IMO.
Mine is REAL BURL WOOD.
I bought my car used and the previous owner put these on. I personally hate it. I would love to trade my interior peices to someone who wants this.
You could try and remove, use lighter fluid to loosen the glue and carefully peel off. I have removed some pieces when I first installed that were too much.
Remember the 1st gen used wud and 2nd gen used real American Walnut.
