Well this is attempt number one. I can confirm that the woodgrain will lift very easy with any kind of heat. You can not use even a slow dremel or the woodgrain will...

Sorry for the confusion. This is all factory parts I haven't fabricated anything yet. I was just trying to show the color difference in the woodgrain.
