Am I the only one who hates the grey wood in the Ebony interior????

Why couldn't they just put some normal fake ass wood on the interior. Like in the MDX they have ebony interior with red wood- looks great (and fake only if you stare at it for more than 5 seconds.)

I wasn't wild about it at first, but it grows on you. Esp. when your friends say: I like it ! Very different, blah blah blah, point is, they are all fake, it's personal. Money can buy anything ! Don't like it, change it, but don't TRASH IT !

I get nothing but complements on my bowling ball trim. IMO I think it's unique, also black interior never looks good with brown wood.

The black wood is badass!! I wish they had it sooner for the TL. Very unique.



Hey do they make a blackwood shift knob?? Have never been able to get a straight answer about this.

I agree, I think it shoulda been brushed aluminum, or maybe a dark mahogany colored wood.

LOL.

What if Acura showed you the bowling ball before they killed it? Kinda like when you go to a restaurant and they show you the lobster before you eat it.

Must be a sobering experience.

Hope you don't mind me borrowing it.

Yours was the ONLY one I've seen with the blackwood kit. I think it looks sweet.

Oh man, Irid,
I don't know if I could stomach that. Thank God they went for black bowling balls! Imagine if they had gone for purple or pink!
