Interior Question (whatchyathink?)

I have the parchment interior with the fake wood trim. The trim is driving me up the wall. I can't stand that wood anymore. Do you think that replacing it with the titanium/ silver peices from a black interior car would look good in place of the wood?

Do you know if you can buy it?

thanks peeps!!

I also have BLK/ Parchment and in my opinion titanium won't look right on your light colored parchment. Now, it looks looks tight as hell on black... hey why not just dye your parchment leather to black

You can't buy just the silver pieces. Acura will only sell the whole door panels.

personally i think the aluminum looks better in parchment then in black... look in cars like BMW and Infiniti for examples of that fact.

Maybe if it was a dark titanium or almost gunmetal it would look hot. Or you acn paint it like a champagne beige. They're easy to take off. I painted mine silver and I'm thinking of taking them off again to change the color to a different shade of silver..this time by a body shop.

if you want to do it the econ or DIY way... buy spray cans of the colour you want.. and clear coating.
take off the trims and paint them yourself... or get films and wrap them...
i have friends that have done carbon fibre film for their bimmers.. and a few civics that have done DIY for their car as well... its also good to have friend in the bodyshop... they'll do a nice job i plan on painting mine either red or silver when my buddy has the time
