Hmm interesting concept. Done right it can look good, how about turned metal?
They used brushed aluminum, or at least that look in the Honda Pilot interior. I think it looks hokey the way they did it.
I am sure there a expert interior finishers out there that haven't got to the X yet.
You see it in the Honda/Acura street racers, as well as other rods, so why not in an MDX?
