Wood dash kits?

Does anyone know where to get a wood dash kit like the one pictured in this link:
http://www.clubtsx.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=3747

I'm interested in just replacing the aluminum strip along the dash and doors with a dark wood(like the bottom/third pic). I don't want to replace anything else like console/shifter, vents, etc., just the strip along the dash and on the sides of the doors.

Thanks for any input on where I could find these parts,

Scott

Oh, if I do find the replacements, I'll sell/trade/give my existing aluminum color strips for anyone with parchment interested in making a change.

You can do a search here and you'll find more info on the kit that's offered through Acura.

Look at my picture gallery, I have the wood kit. Here's the kicker for you though: Unless you get parchment interior, you have the aluminum trim. With the parchment you get the strip that goes across the dash in the wood, but you can get the kit I did and Acura installed that is applied on top of the rest of the trim in the 4 doors and center console to complete the look (we really like it). So, if you don't have the parchment interior, you could get the kit, but you won't have the strip across the dash in wood, etc.

We didn't opt for the wheel, but you can get that wheel they have too. In my opinion, the wheel should be as it is, and I think you'll have better grip with it. If you own a TSX, I'm shocked your dealer didn't mention the upgrades they can do for you.

You can order the parts from Acura - $79/strip I believe.

You probably could do that. It would be really neat to see a switch. I wonder how much you'd have to do to remove the panels.

I wonder where you can get that glossy black wood from the top picture. It would be cool if you could get a kit like the black wood available on the 2003- TL. The Black w/ white and grey veins

So you like the brown look (looks faded to me) better than the one in my pics?

I don't want the light, orangeish wood that Acura offers as an accessory. I want the darker wood that is shown in the link. I don't need it on anywhere accept across the dash and along the doors where the aluminum strip is on the ebony interior. I wish to leave the console, steering wheel, window switches, vents, etc. the way they are stock. I think the darker wood and ebony interior looks great.
