I am looking to swap my "wood grain" 2004 TL interior parts with 2006 "carbon fiber". I have found the individual parts involved:

77294-SEP-A01ZA shifter
77301-SEP-A01ZA pocketA
77302-SEP-A01ZA pocketB
83534-SEP-A01ZA RF door trim
83584-SEP-A01ZA LF door trim
83734-SEP-A01ZA RR door trim
83784-SEP-A01ZB LR door trim


I think the best prices are at acuraoemparts.com. Is there a site that sells these items at better prices. Or maybe an online store where you can get used parts?

Also, I have found that the rear vent and door are available in carbon fiber as parts:

83403-SEP-A01ZA vents
83416-SEP-A01ZA pocket

But I have found a rear trim console kit sold on some sites with part number 08Z03-SEP-200D. The kit is more expensive than buying the two parts. Does anybody know what else you get with the kit? I can't tell from the diagrams. You would think the kit is cheaper. It must have extra parts, right? If so, does anybody know what they are?

I figured it out.

The kit is for carbon fiber. The individual part numbers are for graphite black. That explains the pricing.

Is there a place to get even better prices on oem parts?

We have one or two dealers who are sponsors or site vendors. Check them out for OEM parts inthe Off Topic Black Market.

Did you come up with an estimate through acuraoemparts?

mario595

$376 for the first 7 parts

another $75 for the rear vent area but you have to get it as a kit 08Z03-SEP-200D. The individual part number I listed are for graphite black (like the dash) not the carbon fiber.

Thanks! It's a little out of my price range right now! Have other things to focus on. Very interesting to see if the Acura vendors for the dealerships could do better pricing.?

I ordered all the parts today. I will try to take before/after pictures to post up when the conversion is complete.

Mario, hate to burst your bubble, but you know you could have purchased a REAL CF kit for less then what you paid???

mario595

Really, all I could find was the stick on stuff. Who sells these real kits? Do you have a name I can search or a link?

Yeah, the stick-on stuff is actually quite good, the molding quality has gotten quite good over the years. I purchased a real CF kit that should be here this week. If you're hell-bent on using the actual pieces, then I can't help ya...BUT, if you want to check out the stick on stuff, go to CarID. I'll have pics later on this week.
