Question Interior Trim

I am sure there are some owners who would appreciate the Wood trim more than I...

Anyone interested in switching all of their front trim with their sport package trim (carbon fiber look) at an Even ($0) exchange PM me, thanks

I definitely would, but the work entailed with that swap is not feasible for me (especially considering I'm located in Toronto, Canada). Good luck!

Shoot really, cause the dealership where I got the car from just gave me a quote for it- I just did not want to pay full retail and rather just do an even swap... Are you sure that this is the case?

I have a sport with tech so the navi is all the same. I would rather the wood over the chain link myself. Any idea how difficult to swap everthing out??

Can you even remove the trim without destroying it?

Happy with the fake wood

I am normally anti fake wood, but I actually prefer the look; if not the feel of it over the metallic trim. I find it breaks up all the darkness of the dash. I am keeping mine.

I am sure its time consuming, but I made a deal with the dealership when I bought the car; that I buy the parts and they would do the labor fro FREE Just need the parts...

I just do not care for the wood, personaly I rather have the other trim.

I live in northern VA/DC area, so if there are any members who are interested for an even swap ($0); I am game for it... Maybe I could convince the dealership to do it for other person for free or a small fee...

Anyone who is interested; PM me...

If it came down to buying it from Nissan, does anyone know any Nissan dealership who have good pricing on OEM parts; please Post link, phone #s, etc...,

Thanks

For sure the Fake wood does look good for someone who does not mind the brown, just not me...

likewise.. never been a fan of wood.
-chrome/ metal/ glass = modern/contemporary.
-wood = old fashion.

but that's just my opinion

Interesting view. The normal interpretation with INTERIORS is:

Metal = Sports oriented.
Wood = Luxury oriented.

That has been Nissan's take also.


On EXTERIORS, the normal view is:

Chrome/no spoiler = Luxury oriented.
Less chrome/blacked out surfaces/spoiler = Sports oriented.

Nissan usually adheres to that view, also.
