mickeyd2005 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I just bought a 2005 Legacy GT Wagon with taupe interior. The interior is nice, but I hate the fake wood trim. I noticed that a lot of pictures on this forum show the trim as metallic. I'm going to install Jazzy's aux input modification so I am going to have to remove the trim. Does anyone know what the part number of the metallic trim is? Does anyone want to swap? Thanks. Here is a picture of my interior... see the fake wood trim on the sides.

John M Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 You can easily replace the center console trim with silver (or paint it black like I did). The door trim is permanent though -- you have to replace the entire door panels because they don't sell the trim piece separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thanks for the info. You wouldn't happen to have a picture of your interior... Did you use a flat black paint or gloss and did you rough it up with something like 200 grit sandpaper before painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I looked into this, theres a few concerns, replacing the side trim on the radio is easy, part #s are 66077AG08A 66077AG09A I beleive. replacing your shift knob if you have automatic the easiest way is to order one with the silver metal already on it, otherwise you can peel off the wood but I wouldn't recommend that cos you gotta buy the peice anyway.. its part # appears to be 35126AG03A now the REAL pain.. and this is an impass that stopped me.. the door panels.. your door panels have a woodgrain insert on each one of them, however this peice is not orderable.. in order to get that peice in silver you must order the entire black door panel and remove the silver part from it. I would give you part #s but I beleive the door panels are $400 each thereabouts. hope that helps.

mickeyd2005 Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 I looked them up on subaruparts.com. The list is about $65 each but they are discounted on the web. Still too much money... I'm thinking about painting them and if they look terrible then I'll buy the OEM ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I have the same color combo. I have wondered what they would look like ABP... the color of the car. I don't think it would look too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Ok, here's a pic of my black side trim. I primed, then used a satin black finish and nobody can tell it isn't stock. Without the camera's flash it is the same color as the dash. Insert woodgrain bashing here -- I'm immune to it at this point. http://moojohn.com/subaru/woodgrain.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbastard Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Your wood looks nice. I got the same kit in carbon fiber. I did one worse a few years back.....my wife wanted the OEM wood trim for her A4 and I finally found a guy that wanted to sell his; so I sent him an email saying how badly my wife wanted his wood! Needless to say just after I sent it I realized what I did and I felt like a douche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 If they made it a darker color wood, kind of liek the new BMW's, that would be great. Why not try vinyl first and see how you like it, less destructive than paint. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 on the same lines of this topic... my wood trim (around radio) is getting painted ABP right now... color of the car. I think it will contrast with the silver and taupe quite well. Either way... it will be better than the wood. If it looks good I am sure the shop can tape off my doors and do them too.

As a fellow ABP person, I would love to see pics when it's done. I've always liked the IDEA of cars with matching ext/int themes, but the execution is often so, so bad.
