i hate stickers.. that trim never looks as good in person cause u can see it bulging out and being un-even and such .. just my opinion

I had the aftermarket woodtrim in my CL and while yes it's a sticker... it looked factory installed. You could barely tell that I installed it b/c it fit so well, especially on the doors.....

I agree Juniorbean, I got to see WDP99 's TL this weekend and he had done a bunch of the trim, looked factory installed. Very nice, not cheesy, I will be getting a trim kit as well.

There are actually 2 kits...the gauge cluster kit and the vent kit. I have both on mine as I liked the look.

Jax, I don't think the parts you want can be purchase thru aftermarket...but I'm sure they'll have it in the Acura Parts Dept...I assume it'll be pricey too...maybe someone here in the forum would like to trade you and get the brown ones...just a suggestion.

Unfortunately those 6 pieces are not available from anyone
I sell the carbon fiber and brushed aluminum kits for the TL but they are no good without getting the stock piece done
I have begged an pleaded with manufactures to make our stock pieces in a molded kit, but they won't
So who wants to buy a CF or BA kit with burly wood or black wood stock pieces ? Just wouldn't look right

The console pieces are not that bad, I can get them from Acura and have my supplier do these in CF, but the problem is, the door piece Acura does not sell, only the Whole door panel. Those pieces are not made to come off. Just ask Bitium, he took his off and I had his sent in to be done in CF
He is coming over next weekend to help me tackle mine.

You can see the Carbon Fiber I just put in place (not installed) for our Miami meet
