Hi guys, I'm thinking of replacing my wood grain trim on the doors, around the Nav, and the steering wheel accents with the nickle finished replacements on wooddashexperts.com. I was wondering has anyone on here replaced the wood trim, and have any pics? If so, did you decide to leave some wood accents, or change them to darker accents, or did you remove all wood accents. I was looking at the set up and thought it would be really cool to have everything replaced with the nickle, and leave the wood pieces around the ac vents and the long strip across the dash. Just a thought and would love the input. I just bought my truck about 2 months ago, and I love it, but wanted to start customizing and was gonna work from the inside out. I have changed the exhaust out for the magnaflow, but wanted to subtle changes to make it unique to my taste. I had wanted to replace the trim with the aluminum and after looking at the z71's I just don't like that there isn't a break in the aluminum. It looks good, but seems as though there should be some dark accent pieces around it.
Replacing Interior Wood Trim, Any suggestions?

I put the overlay kit on and don't like it. I'm really picky though. I can see the brown under it from certain angles. I went with the gray woodgrain which within itself looks fantastic, but I just don't like that you can see what was under it. I'm going to be taking it all back off and having a local shop paint the OE parts black to match the truck. Then, I need to figure out how Lexus does their ambient lighting on the interior. I know it's LEDs but they are mellow. That is my next project.
hey LVYUKYUK could post pics of your set up by any chance? I understand what you are saying about the brown showing through but I'd like to see what it looks like. I think that the black would be hot, but I have a white hoe, and I just couldn't see having white accents with titanium interior. It might look cool, but I just couldn't see it.
Yeah not sure about white on the inside. Here are some pics I just quickly got for ya. The GM emblem was off ebay, thought it would be a different touch.

Forget Lexus... like almost all automotive break-throughs, Cadillac did it first. .. GM baby!
I'm okay with that, I have the Lexus and have not been in a Cad. Whomever did it, I wannit! :cool2:

Wow, that's exactly what I was looking for. I think it will turn out nicely. Oh, you know, my brother has a Nissan Armada, and it has the ambiant lighting, and that is nice, and you know, you could possibly make that happen. I'm not sure how it's done in caddy, but it can possibly be put in the console area, or maybe overhead if you don't have a sunroof. I was looking into creating a lighting partition in my truck. But thanks for the pics. When I change mine over I will post pics. I'm on a budget, so I may have to bring this thread alive after a few months.
you can search ebay for "wood grain dash" to look at example pics.
I saw a kit that adds more wood to the Denali. Factory match. It also had the wood trim for the overhead flip-down tv. There were also all kinds of crazy colors.

Hey ibooby check out this link

ya I saw those. I wonder why companies don't offer a "DENALI" kit. Being that it already has wood gain inside. All the key's I've seen are aimed at Yukon(etc etc) with no existing wood grain.
Okay so I ripped out all that gray overlay stuff that was in my truck. I couldn't stand seeing the brown underneath it. Well, I can't stand the brown either!!! :ack: SO, I got in touch with Greg over at Autodynamicswest.com and he is sending me out a new trim set in black with clear coat. All I have to do is swap out my parts for the ones he is sending and send my old ones back. I can't wait and will be posting pics. Greg is fantastic as I probably asked 15 questions too many! :umn:
