The question speaks for itself. I would like to order these from A & H motors, but want to know if they come with adhesive and are pre-molded before I do. I hope somebody answers this question...

order the kit but do not put the AC vent wood on, man it looks very cheap, and makes the plastic wood look even more plastic, all the other kit i would use, just my opinion

drbeatty

Are you referring to the same thing I am? The link with a good picture is here:

Click on "Brown Wood AC vent trim"

IMO, this looks better than the stick on wood that comes in kits (I assume that is what you are suggesting I order?).

I agree with 97slammedTL, the thin pieces supplied with my kit looked cheap and detracted from the overall nice appearance of the installed kit. I installed the pieces (heated to stick only) and drove around for a couple of days. No one seemed to like them. Then I removed them, which seemed to improve the overall appearance of the interior. The pieces shown on the Acura site look MUCH nicer. Maybe I'll have to run down to my local dealership and check on the avaiability. What price is your dealer quoting you? The web site lists the two pieces for $54 - installed.

Nate

Should be $40 + tax. They are premolded and have adhesive.

Looks great Nate. By the way where did you buy your trim kit? There appears to be a slight color difference between the console side pieces and the kit pieces, or is it just the picture?

drbeatty

THAT's WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT! That looks great! Easy installation sounds good to me... Thanks Nate!

Real nice, NATE.....I left off the vent trim that came with my kit....was to skimpy. These I would order!!

Nate

I believe its the Inspire same as the Inspire vent trim.

Nah the console trim is a perfect match... actually, the vent trim doesn't match the factory wood as well as the aftermarket kit. =/

Nate, what brand of wood trim kit did you buy?

drbeatty

Great! I just got them in and installed them! $41 from www.ahmotor.com. The match is good. Thanks for the help Nate!

I can't seem to find that part on ahmotor's website.. am I blind?? Or do you have to ask for it specifically?

I bought the first wood kit from Tim, it is different than the one he sells now. Then I bought another wood kit from Tim (the one he sells now) and used the pieces I like from it too.

You have to ask for it specifically. If you don;t want to wait for shipping - just head to your local dealer (like I did today) and ask them to match AH Motors price of $34.00. Mine did and did it with no questions asked.
