Keep the wood for sure.

Ugg I wish they woulda had parchment when I bought me NBK. Like someone said above, it looks so classy.

PS. I wouldn't make a change like that unless it was something you were 100% sure it looked better. Why spend the dough if it only has the possibility of being "somewhat" better looking. Ya know.

There was actually a guy on here that converted his silver trim to wood and spray painted the center console silver portion to flat black; it looked perfect. You just have to do it right.

I think it's called burl wood.

That is the silver wood.

i hate the wood trim. it's the one visual cue i've seen on the TSX that I just don't like at all. if i had the wood i'd be changing it too.

I think the problem is the black dash. The previous gen TLs had a tonal dash that wasn't as contrasting as the TSXs Black/tan. With the TL, the silver trim would look nice.

I'm glad they didn't put wood accents on the steering wheel. I think they put just the right amount of wood trim w/o going overboard and making the car look geared towards older people. To me it's touch of luxery class in an otherwise sporty car. Even my gf who generally HATES wood trim actaully likes the wood in my TSX.

when the tsx first came out with the 04 model i wanted one but the milano red only came with the parchment interior. glad i waited-did not like that two-toned look. ebony is much nicer.

if you can have other color other than silver on those steering control then go ahead and change the dash to silver if not keep it.

too much silver going on if your steering wheel controls are silver as well
