I am considering buying the 2003 Acura CL, and I love the car, but I am
not a big fan of the wood trim that it comes with. Is there an
aftermarket trim kit I can use to switch this out? Is it even possible
to do, or is it a huge pain in the butt?
I appreciate your help!!

The wood trim is adhesive on most of the panels if your talking about
what I think you are. You can try to peel it off and clean up the
adhisive but it is usually more trouble than its worth to take that
crap off other wise you are pretty stuck unless you want to buy the
panels or put more aftermarket crap over it. The other issue with the
CL is the automatic transmissions. The trans has an extended warrenty
and there is a reason for it. If it hasn't been replaced already you
can expect it to go on you at any where between 60,000 and 100,000
miles. The warrenty was extended to 100,000 and the transmission they
replace it with has updates in it that greatly increases its lifespan.
They have very few other problems and are a great car. I espcially
like the feel of the seat bolster on each side of the front seats. It
really hugs you and holds you in place.
