has anyone put the full wood trim in their tl-s......they offer it on this site a full wood trim kit...blackwood...does anyone now how it looks and would you recommend it...

2002 tls-abp

rotors replaced 15k

 

i have the black wood... i like it, however i get alot of mixed responces... alot of people dont like it because it looks fake, however with that in mind, i think it enhances the plain look of the dash panels... i recommend it... or go for a brushed allum. or carbon fiber

 

I have it in the burlwood and I like it. I have the wheel, the molded addons from the factory and the after market kit. I did not put on all the peices as it would have looked tacky, but overall I get good responses.

 

yea i dont know if the whole thing will look too tacky....i will decide...does anyone have pics of their interior to see?

 

I have the black wood on mine and like it way better than the reg. black plastic......but to each his own. I didnt use all the pieces either b/c that would have been overkill.

Here are a couple of pics:

 

cool....they are easy to put on right...they have adhesive tape on the back of it

 

its easy to put on... just make sure u clean the dash with a couple of alchohol pads and that it isnt cold outside or anything.

 

thanks for the tip

 

i got the full blackwood kit done a mounth after i got it an installer w acura gave me a deal hush hush on it so good that i could not refuse when i first sat in it i said wow it is overkill 2 much wood but ive learned to like it......so much that i think the interior looked naked w out it.....................highly recommend it................

 

hey whay pieces do u have left, i might be interested in taking them from u if u dont want them

 

What kit is that (from whom)?

It looks pretty good.

Thanks.

 

Darn, I forget the site I got it from b/c i put it on when I first got the car (2001). If you do a Google search for "acura wood trim kits" you should get a few sites that have them. I think I paid a little over a $100 for it.

 

Don't know the company?




I wanted to know because I have searched and there are several companies that sell the "dark burlwood OEM" kit but your's looked pretty good. Actually, almost an OEM look.

Since you've purchased your kit, the prices have gone up... alot.

If you happend to remember, please post. Thanks.

 

Who offers the dash trim in carbon fiber? I hate the wood I think it looks ridiculous, but I hate the black wood too.

 

www.motorgear.com has it available in a bunch of different finishes. they have real carbon fiber trim kit for like $180.

 

I found them on the motorgear site but does the Real Carbon fiber come with all four door pieces and console pieces?

 

i think it brigns pieces that even the factory trim kit doesnt have. the motorgear.com one has 42 pieces, so im sure it has the pieces u are looking for. it also has a pic of all the piece so u may wanna check there.

 

motorgear's diagram:

 

I want to do the aluminum trim or the carbon fiber trim but I would like to do the pieces that come stock. If it came with those pieces I would definitely pick it up. I didn't see any pics of the kits installed. Has anyone dealt with them before....

 

Thanks Twenty03TypeS! I'm going to get the Real Carbon Fiber kit. But I won't be needing all those pieces, just the ones that will replace my black wood. I'll be more than happy to give the additional to anyone who wants the rest, it's just over kill to me with 42 pieces. I'm assuming install is pretty easy?

 

install is pretty easy... make sure to clean the dash with alcohol pads before though. and if u want to make sure it stays on forever and doesnt unstick in the future, use a hair dryer to heat up the dash a little bit and the trim pieces.

 

Cool, thanks.

 

Good advice. Had mine on for over 2yrs, using that metod, and no problems whatsoever.
