Wood-grain Interior Trim

I realize I may be in the minority here, but I prefer a nice wood-grain trim as opposed to the aluminum inlays. I see Acura offers this as an accessory: http://www.acura.com/Accessories.asp...cId=ZDX0010017

Have any of you had this installed? I'd like to see pictures showing how it came out and what parts of the interior are covered.

These instructions show you what parts are covered. It will probably look good with the steering wheel

That's a great find. Thanks for posting. It probably would look nice with the wood steering wheel, but to me the wheel feels slippery, so I'd probably just go with the dash.

I got a chuckle where it said should only be done by someone with proper tools and equipment. The tools required list consists of masking tape and a hair dryer - very technical.

So do these just adhere and go over the existing aluminum panels?

It looks that way, which is consistent with previous "wood trim" kits in Acuras. Actually, I'm disappointed that for the ZDX they didn't come out with a wood trim package that actually replaces the standard trim. Sure, it would cost more but it would certainly look better and be more in keeping with the upscale feel they claim they're going for in the future (starting with the ZDX)...

I have the wood wheel, shift knob and interior trim. I posted some pics in the gallery way back. I think you can find them via my profile.

They wood on the wheel only goes from 10-2 and where my hands naturally rest where the wood meets the leather, so it doesn't seem slippery to me.

a 3m type clear bra would be better as the black ones can damage your paint.
