My trim is fine so far. That didn't happen by accident. Someone nicked it pretty good. I'd use a wood marker, personally.

It’ll hold up well except under heat. The plastic coating and wood will expand at different rates which causes cracks in the plastic . However, if the car spends the majority of it’s life in a garage, it shouldn’t be a problem

That trim part could also be replaced, but may take a while to get the part , check with your dealer on cost. If you are reasonable and polite, there is a chance they will warranty it even though they probably don't have to.

Thank you for the response. Agreed, politely asking always goes a long way. The chips are minor blemishes on an otherwise fantastic machine. I ordered the combo “furniture pens” from Amazon. Should do the trick. Getting ready for a 10 day road trip tomorrow with my bride. Should be a lot of fun. Here’s a pic in the garage tonight. I’m looking forward to getting her a bit dirty and enjoying the adventure.

I've used these on our hardwood floors, and they work very well. Suggestion; start with a color that is lighter than what you think will match as you can always go darker if needed.

1: How’s your (uhm…) wood holding up?
2. Any thoughts on how to repair/cover up the knicks?
Thanks so much.
Could it be just "maybe" the plastic trim caught the edge of the paldao wood and splintered a small chip off? Seems there is no gap between the trim pieces.

Certainly is a possibility. It is a remarkably tight/precise fit. I’ve seen several mentions on Rennlist that the wood option has the smallest gap.
