Sean -

Yep, it's real Zebrano wood.  I think they stopped using Zebrano in '91 or
'92 because the trees became endangered.

It probably looks fake because the clearcoat is becoming cloudy -- a
common problem.  All of the pieces on my car are starting to cloud up, but
the ashtray door is the worst, possibly because as a horizontal surface it
tends to be scratched by objects placed upon it.

I've asked this before, but got no responses:  Anybody know how to
prevent or even repair the cloudiness?
