I have a 02 cl-p with wood grain trim and I was wondering if I can remove just those 6 trim pieces and replace them with the silver ones from a 03 cl-s? If so do you know if acura sells them separately?

Yes you can do it. They do in fact sell them separately as well

Removing them, melt the tabs with a soldering iron.
Easyest and quickest is way.
Center console woods are available but, I have never seen door or rear interior pannel woods available.

You can only buy the two center pieces separately. For the ones in the doors/rear panels you need to buy the whole panel to get that piece.

That's correct. Only the center console pieces are available. To get the others you have to buy the whole door panel. Or trade with someone. Or you can pry them off & paint them. However they are riveted on & you will need to figure out how to reattach them.
This has been discussed. Try a search on the subject.

Don't attemp to pry them off.
You WILL either break them or the pannel itself.
flip the pannel over.
You will see where they are mounted too.
melt the tabs like I said before.
I'm not new to this....
Be careful not to go crazy.
You can also drill them out but,this is a little more dangerous and if your not careful you will drill threw the wood.
soldering iron is key.

Use plastic welder glue and clamps to reinstall.
any auto store will have it.
Or get the right stuff at a auto paint store.
Theirs a big differnce in price thou.

I used small wood screws to hold the door pieces in (screw into the melted rivet CAREFULLY). They haven't fallen off and it's been <5 years now.

Fuzzy is right. Your best option is to paint what you have. I have a friend on here with a 2G TL that has wood trim. He had them painted matte and they look pretty damn good. A much cheaper option than replacing all those parts new...

I will most likely buy the two pieces for the center console new and depending how much I can get the four other panels for I will buy those new and sell my old ones after so I get some money back. I just really love the look of the silver trim.
