What do you guys think about the wood AT shift knob from TL/MDX ?
Looks weird in the TSX ?

Also, I wonder if it is possible to swap ALL the chrome trim pieces in the Ebony interior
to wooden trim found in Parchment interior.

Oh how I wished wood trim was available for Ebony

 

Is that you, moreace?

Just kidding.... Old-timer joke. It might look good if your interior has other plood (either parchment interior or by swapping it out like you suggest, but don't do it with silver trim.

 

huh ? don't quite get ya.

My interior is right like this:


And I'd love to have all the silver pieces replaced by wood trim like you can get with the parchment

 

Yeah. I'm saying IF you do that, then the wood shift knob might look good. If you don't, it will look bad.

 

who has the picture with the wood shift knob installed? gotta be around here somewhere...

 

i'm sure its possible. I think i recall someone on the board doing this. He found someone on here who wanted his aliminum peices and they swapped.

 

Here it is:



Crap....

Just go here.

 

This is xactly what I have in mind - provided it's possible.

I almost went for the parchment just for the wood trim.
Glad the sales guy stopped me and suggested CG/Ebony.

errh...looks weird...sticks out like a damn hammer.

 

That's what I was trying to say before. Don't do it unless you get the whole wood trim swap.

 

It looks :ghey: , but that might just be because its an AT.

 

I think a wood shift knob would be even :ghey:-er on a 6MT.

 

blasphemy!

 

Oh, come on! Don't you know who I am?!

 

It doesn't look like it belong there. Who did that to his car?

 

There are also aftermarket veneer wood applique's for the TSX, which can simply be laminated on top of the corresponding fake titanium. Frankly, I preferred the fake titanium look over the fake wood look, but both demostrate that beauty is just skin-deep..... Really though, I think part of the understated quality of the TSX interior is based on their avoidance of tricking it out to look like a Winnebago; I went with the "titanium" interior choices as a result.
