Help with interior

This is my first post on the forum although I have been looking around for two months now. I got my 05 TL back in March and have finally gotten some free time.

I wanted to know what you guys thought about my interior. I am really not a fan of the wood panels and I was hoping that I could get some advice. Are there replacement parts for these panels, maybe in black? I am not really a fan of putting stickers over parts, so maybe there is something out there that I don't know about.

Here are a few pictures and I welcome any advice I could get. Thanks in advance.

The wood does not look so bad on a light interior and there is not much of it, but you could always just order the base TL or Type-S trim pieces and just swap it out.

You can definitely replaced the console pieces with the carbon fiber trim. I think they are no. 6 and 11 http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...s=&view=normal

For the door panel, you might need to replace the whole panel. Check the site and see if you have any other alternatives.

Excelerate (sp?) is now selling them, and they are AWESOME!!!

pretty easy to install, the hardest one is the brake pedal because you have to drill through metal. probably a 0.5-1.5hr job

I'm still selling these...

I would be willing to negotiate on the price. They are awesome and not too difficult to install, but you do need to drill through the brake and clutch.

If I could do it, anyone can.
