I got an '01 CL.... don't really like the wood trim on the interior - wondering if it's possible to buy (if so, where/how?) the aluminum strips found in the '03 CL and how i would install them?

My car also came with the "wood" trim gauge clusters - wondering if those can be removed without leaving a mark? they seem to be glued on or something

you can remove the gauge trim with a hairdryer, then use some goo gone to remove the left over adhesive. good luck!!!

i got a 3.2cl silver with the wood trim gauges too. i like it alot better then without (my family has a 02 tl too without the wood trim). i got mine demo for 35k flat(canadian) with 7 spoke rims, the wood and rear spoiler.(that was like 3k in upgrade, those rims cost 2k for an option)

m33f

35k? before or after tax? cuz mine was 33k Cdn w/o tax (not demo)..... and i got the wood and spoiler for free :P

acuraman32cl

wait it was 36k with no tax. this was last year though so the 33k makes sense. in the paper the lowest was like 34k at the time but they were private sellers. mine has the 2k dollar option with the 7 spoke rims, spoiler (likes yours) the wood cluster and wheel locks. it was a good deal. (all said and dont saved 10k if we were to buy a new one with tax and all). when did u get yours?

m33f

got mine July 2001..... 36k base back then, "negotiated" to 33k and all that other stuff i got for free as well

acuraman32cl

great deal there, good one when i got mine base was 40k so it seemed good

m33f

but back to the topic..... someone tell me where i can buy the brushed aluminum trim in the '03 interiors, and how i would install them

if you want the door pieces, you have to buy the whole door panel. they don't sell them separately

hey, i painted mine silver when i got my front end repainted, check my sig for interior pics. However, i look back and kinda like the old wood trim. I would trade you for your stock blackwood. there is a small scratch on one of the strips but it can prolly be cleaned up with a little wax. let me know if your interested.

m33f

nice interior, man...

unfortunately, i don't have the blackwood trim - mine're the "normal" brown wood, dun think u'll be wanting those

so u got the strips on the center-console painted silver? what about the console itself? that's a trim kit, right?

Hi,
I'm new here. My '03 CLs has a black/gray marble textured laminate. Is this what you are calling Blackwood?
Thanks, Ted

M33f - I had the "optional" wood in my 01 CL-S also...and hated from the moment i saw it. So, the other night i took a hairdryer to it and pulled it off. Most of it is very easy. The biggest piece, up around the A/C controls leftt eh most glue on the dash. Havent had a chance to use use the goo gone on the sticky stuff yet, but im sure it will work. I think the interior looks 100% better now though.

m33f

nice..... tell me how it turns out after using goo gone!
