Default Can I Change my Wood Trip?

Bought My GX with tan interior and oak wood trim and my wife is not a big fan of oak trim color. We use to own an EX with Tan interior and Cherry trim and we loved it. So my Question "Is it possible to change a trim or not?" I called the dealer and they said that trim sells together with the door panels. And how about a steering wheel?

I want to know this as well since I hate my wood trim. I think the biggest challenge/expense, is the steering wheel.

lol, I was telling my dealer today how blah the wood is. Sad part is I paid for extra trim pieces in my 99 RX. But it is time for some new colors.

I'm interested in what you do too because I might be doing the same in my 10 RX.

I think you'll be blown away by the prices for OEM wood trim pieces ... like the wooden pieces are attached to the engine! Yes, that expensive.


Good luck!

Molded, polished wood is expensive.

same story here. my wife and i hate it. i told her before we bought it that there are tons of dash kits online. when it was time to make a purchase, not even one kit. only kits out there add to what you already have. i saw carbon fiber in the marketplace section but am afraid to get it because you need to put glue on the wood.
