WillrunifChased

It's alright but it wouldn't be my choice.

yeah.. what's so bad about wood grains that make people want to paint over it. I think it gives the car a more classy, luxurious look. but thats just my opinion..

the paintjob looks clean though..

How much?

ftLauTL

The black flows alot better than the wood grain does

it seems like honda built this car and at this last minute was like...oh wait its an acura....slap some wood grains in there


not classy at all

FL3.2TL

Looks nice to me. But I would have painted it gunmetal.

Malayalee King, how did you get the wood grain around your headunit to match the OEM? Do the vinyl kits they make match that closely?

Anyhow removing the wood on the parchment interior doesn't look right to me, on the black interior is can look kinda sportier though, especially if you can color match the panels to the body. Just my

mcflyguy24

Volly and his gunmetal...

I don't what's so bad about the black grain... I've got numerous compliments on it from friends when i bought my car when they checked out the interior. They all like it b/c it's somethin you don't see in other cars like the normal brown wood grain.

i have to clean that plastic on the center console some how

and if someone could push me in the right direction as far as cleaning the door panels cuz as you can see my car was not taken care of by its previous owner....tip of the cap to you sir

lol I am aware the wood is not real.

As for your interior, go to Autozone and pick up some interior cleaner.

I think it looks decent. I was thinking of painting my either black or gunmetal grey since my interior is grey. I think it looks much better than when I see other members paint the woodgrain the same color as the exterior...

Master-X

i think the darker woodgrain or the mrable look seems to look a bit nicer..

spoonspec

I much rather have the wood grain finish, althought its not the real deal...the black finish looks more like an interga center console at a glance...clean work though...

thats wood overkill..

also paint the rest of the dash to make it match better..

Like is said before, on a black interior, wood grain doesn't stand out compared to a tan interior.

ftLauTL

ya the wood grain with the tan interior i have just adds fuel to the fire

NoLimitDeC

looking at your username, im guessing you have a TL-S which has black woodgrain, but all TL-P have the brown.. i also like the black woodgrain a lot better than the brown (i have ebony interior)

to the OP: i like the actual paintjob that was done, but in a car with parchment interior, i would just keep the wood..

Well... I think you all know me we'll enough by now, I hate just about everything else you guys do so why should this b any different?

A gloss black, silver or even a matching black would have been okay. Buy why would u paint them an non matching matte black?
