I would say yes. The wood trim is the same for the European Accord, actually there's two different shades available.

Assuming it will fit, a dealer (or your dealer) will probably charge you a pretty penny for it. Not worth it in my opinion, but to each his/her own!

Just completed a DIY job putting faux carbon-fiber vinyl on the center console and I must say that it looks really good. Simple install and you will find a lot of options. Would recommend looking into it too.

I was also contemplating ordering the black piano finish available on the 2011 models but it's prone to scratches, doesn't works having a dog

It came with the dark wood grain interior console? I've Never seen this in previous year TSX's, only in the MDX.

What Manny has is probably a stick on application that was put on at the dealer. I saw some of them doing this when I was looking to buy in late 09. It is not OEM.

I've seen that from CarID along with all the carbon fiber stick on panels, I'm just not a fan. If it were however a full panel replacement I'd be all for it.

Attaching some pics, these were taken at night so the quality is not great. But both the steering wheel trim and center console pieces look great in natural light

Wood panels in cars have always been a symbol of luxury and solidity. Metal interior accents usually signify sporty. Most trims these days are overdone. What you really want is a bit of nicely polished or machined metal accents or a bit of wood trim.

I think the guy that did the carbon, white and wood trim had the right amount of each - had he stuck to just one. I actually think that the wood accents on the door pulls looked elegant - if it were real wood veneer.

I wouldn't do wood in a TSX. Maybe a Lexus GS or a 7 series or something, but not a TSX.

Actually, my family's '98 Camry has wood, and it's not bad. But again, that's a Camry, not a TSX.

I like faux wood if done properly.

Since there's such small number of 2G TSX on the road in Metro Vancouver, the chance of getting a wreck 2011/2012 is slim. But it will match my 6MT sport shift knob in wood trim I got from the UK.

I am a lot older than the average member here, so it's a matter of personal choice/taste.

Sorry, I disagree. I like a single consistent tone throughout the car, the mix matching didn't look very nice.

Usually faux wood grain is a bit tacky looking but the dark/black woodgrain finish on the TSX is quite subtle and is elegant IMO.

That's what I want and my 6MT sport shift knob from Europe is finished in that colour.

You might want to re-read my original post (quoted above and highlighted for you)

Had he stuck to one design element then he would have been fine, but we all commented about how the hodge-podge of efforts were in poor taste.

The color of wood depends on the interior color. In general, a lighter interior looks best with lighter wood while a black interior looks better with darker wood.

Faux wood is tacky in any event. It is in the same category as vegetarian bacon or tofu sausage patties. Faux is just plain old fake with another name.
