i have searched this forum and the other 2 tsx forums, but i cant seem to find any pictures of any cars with the metal trim kit installed. i was wondering if anyone knew where some pictures were or simply have some themselves. thanks for the help!

i am wondering if i should get it but i want to see it first

This is the only one I can find. I want to see it against black before I make my decision.

The metal trim kit is like crack, just say no!

I'll post the before-and-after pics from the same thread on the other site:

I personally don't like the look of the pieces in the centre console that the trim kit gives you. However, I do like the look of metal on the door area (covers the black plastic around the power window button area and stuff).

I braved the empty wastelands of that other site to bring you this:

I have a photoshop reply on there regarding what *looks* like a missing piece, but isn't. For me, that empty area forward of the shift is ugly.

If you're thinking 6 Speed, I don't recall seeing any pics.

I agree with you Mike. I don't mind it so much on the doors but it looks atrocious on the center console. It looks exponentially worse with Quartz too.

Dammit! 24 and already I'm getting slow! !

Well, to save you the time from going to that thread to see my Photoshop "complaint", I'll attach it here.....

Okay....I just got a message about how I can't attach a file over 1 byte.....

So, I guess I'll link it.

Those pictures are kind of sucky. I seriously doubt it is so yellowish looking. Even so, I agree with everyone else; it looks good on the doors, but nothing else.

And I agree MikeMa, it definitely looks like a piece is missing.

Didn't see your request for metal with Ebony interior.

Since I had Photoshop already running, here's my quick, "if I were a graphic artist for real, I'd be fired by now" adjustment of the pictures shaf just posted.

For reference, the colour of the metal trim will be precisely the same colour of the metal band that goes around the car in Ebony and quartz Interiors.

Thanks for the pictures! I have been searching all over club TSX for those. man the serach engine there sucks i searched :metal trim, aluminum, dash kit, etc. That one didnt even show up haha how ghetto. but thanks!

I think I will buy the kit, but only install the door trim and the 2 compartment doors under the radio/navi. I think the center area between the seats looks patched up and doesn't flow very well.

It is just TOO much silver

try wood

I saw a woodtrim for TSX being offered from time to time. It looks pretty nice.. I will try to ger some photo when the persons post it on Ebay again. But I still prefer the Black console though. It looks clean and nice. I think just add more of the blue light in the car would be nice enough... Just my opinion. hehe.

The whole kit is quite expensive if just to obtain the door pieces. Perhaps there will be an after-market item to accomodate this. Let's hope so.

Brad

Ebony with a rich brownish wood trim would have been nicer. Afterall, in real life, ebony is wood. I think they make clarinets from ebony. I could live without the swoopy silvery accents that the stock TSX's interior includes. A rich medium mahogany or cherry wood trim would be better than all of that silvery trim.

I do prefer the aluminium shifter knob, tho.

I thought the wood trim kit was just too much wood, but i guess all their trim options are just too much (esp. on the center console)
