Finally CARBON FIBER for doors and bezel
You heard that right. They just arrived today. This are the old fake wood pieces, now they are fake carbon fiber pieces 
. Tim and I are going to do his this weekend, then we are going to post instrutions on how to remove the door strips. . My car is in the shop right now, if you don't know what happen here is the link. So I can't put them in my car yet, but I will as soon as I get it back. Thanks Tim for hooking us up.

Damn it!!!
...and I just installed the wood kit a couple months ago! Hey - if I heat the pieces up will they come off?? CF would look good on my silver TL. But the wood pieces are very nice - no complaints! 
You're still the man SNooK!

Bitium, Your a tease
Your didn't explain that the peices are only available by taking your stock pieces off, and to take off the door ones was not an easy task
Bitium is coming over today and we are removing my door pieces, and we will take photos, and do a write up on it
Just didn't want anyone thinking, that is was just a kit you bought

Hehe.....I wish it was that easy. I think VDo (Vincent) used foliatec CF sheets.....ask him about it. The pieces I posted are very professional, top quality. The instructions we are going to post are for the removal of the factory wood pieces, NOT for the installation of the carbon fiber.......that is done by a company that does custom work and sells trim kits for many cars.
tl_kid116, I don't think you could do BA that way.....but this people can do it. Please e-mail sales@autocarparts.com for more info.

This is a coating put over our stock pieces. They"dip" the pieces and can make it look like Carbon Fiber or Brushed Aluminum
It is not that sheet stuff you buy and put over the top
We did this to my car this weekend (removed stock pieces)
We took pics along the way, and as soon as I have time, I will do a write up on how to take yours off, and how much and how long it is for you to get yours done

Those pieces look really sweet. Anyone have examples of brushed aluminum from the same place that did the carbon fiber? I heard from a poster on acura-cl.com a while back that it takes hours to remove the door pieces and involves removing the door panels and melting off plastic rivets. Hope you found an easier way because I'd love to change the look of the trim!

I would be quite interested in the brushed aluminum look. I am considering getting those alum racing pedals and might like the whole sporty look. Acutally that was about the only impressive thing on the 2001 20th Anniversary Maxima SE that we were considering against our Type S.
