The surround will need some protection from the weather. I almost never stain a scroll saw project but in this case it was necessary. I cut the surround from 1/4" red oak. The natural wood did not stand out enough so I stained it with a red oak stain. After the stain dried I finished it with several coats of gloss Spar Urethane spray. The Spar Urethane has a UV protection to help prevent the sun from fading the wood. It also provides a water barrier. Make sure you stain and finish both sides of the project.
The surround looks nice on my Ford Supercrew truck but imagine how nice it will look on your 2014 Corvette.
