ewwww wood grain

i know a friend of mines bought interior trim piece for her 08 accord and i'm pretty sure she got it from the honda dealer.

have you tried checking dealership websites to see if they have wood grain trim pieces? cause i know they sell imitation carbon fiber interior trim pieces, so they might have wood grain () for you

STP, I got my carbon fiber interior trim kit at www.NYCDashes.com. I know they had a lot of different finishes you could get on them. Give their site a try.

It sure did-I came pre-cut with 2 sided tape already applied. I just pealed off the other side and applied on top of the OEM parts!

STP, you're not asking too many questions-no worries! You're new to Acurazine-I had a lot of questions when I started here too.

All the pieces that will come to you will fit OVER the OEM pieces already in your car. You can purchase "wood grain" looking pieces from ACURA. They look much better than the "Carbon Fiber" looking pieces they offer.

My Dad got a burled walnut trim for his Rogue and it looks hot. While I love wood trim in a car, I don't think I could bring myself to do it for the TL. Now carbon fibre or brushed aluminum, that's another story.

Do you have pics of your installed CF dash kit?

At least on person has to disagree with this. I got the OE CF pieces for the front and they look great.







BTW - if it's a "kit", it's probably not "custom".
