Don't listen to me.
It would not be hard to do. The pieces have clips to hold them in. I temperarly took them off when I modified my sound system. But I don't know anyone that has changed them out.

I'm assuming you are saying that in Canada, black exterior only comes in parchment leather/wood trim interior. And that you want to swap out the wood trims for aluminum trim but want to keep the parchment leather.
If that is the case, you might want to check out this thread:

The first one is what I think you are looking for (That is smoking hot IMO. Very creamy smooth). The pictures are from Euro Accord but gives you a good idea of how it will look in a TSX.

It's not a big job but it helps if you have the right tools. Canadian tire sells an interior trim removal tool which is basically a really flat and wide screwdriver that makes the job a whole lot easier. I'll scan a few pages of the helm's manual for the trim removal today.

It looks like a pretty involved process to remove the door trim. You've got to remove the whole door panel to get at the screws that hold the trim in place. If you go ahead with the trim change it would be a good time to do a speaker upgrade as well since you've got the door apart. One of our memebers, e_lectro, has done an excelent writeup about removing the the Navi unit and other interior trim pieces. Here's his link: http://www.sounddomain.com/memberpage/389428/2
I couldn't find anything in the factory manual for removing the trim under the HVAC controls but I'm sure once you have the unit pulled out you should be able to figure it out. Maybe e_lectro could shine some light on this.......
There are three pages of instructions to disassemble the door panel.

Dan, I spoke with James at Acura dealership about removing wood dash kit with parchment to metal trim with white pearl, he said that they can replace it but it will cost about 1 thousand dollar with labor. I thought it was too much to cost for replacing the dash kits stuff. I think I will go with Carbon Grey Pearl with quartz, they looked great color, etc. Thanks bro.

I went to acura dealer yestruday
and i emailed two of the online acura parts dealers...
and u know wut i found out?
the centre replcement piece where the climate control is... they can't
sell it sepreatly...
ie, u/i would have to buy the WHOLE consel panel if we want to
replace it to anther trim, wood,quraty, wood...
and that piece cost like 900 bucks...
so wut i was wondering is how would ur dealer get it for ya for
1000? pehaps he dind't know the centre peice isn't a seperate
part?
