There is only one piece of wood trim that you get from the factory. The other pieces you see in the 32+ piece kits would be adding wood to places that the LE does not have them.56nomad56 wrote: My questions:
1. Is there a place you can just get those few pieces? Most kits online are for 32+ pieces, most of which would go to waste. I'm going for the LE wood look.
Depends on which type you buy. The aftermarket kits are usually just stick on types that go on top of what you currently have. Personally, I think it looks cheap because it doesn't fit flush and it obvious that you just put a plastic sticker on top. I would try an get the LE version either by buying it from Nissan or swapping with a member of this forum (volvite?). I don't think it's too hard to take out.56nomad56 wrote:
2. Do you have to remove the carbon fiber trim first to replace it with wood, or does it just form a thin layer over the current finish?
Sounds like fun. Be sure an post pictures in the Road Trip section.56nomad56 wrote: OT, just ordered the Airlift 1000 bags and a 48" Hi-Jack, plan to do some exploring in Southern Utah this summer.
I'll take a picture tonight and post. It's my wife's daily driver so I'll have to wait until later. If the CF is easy to remove, maybe I'll trade 'ya!volvite wrote:Do you have pictures of your set up? I have the wood trim, and I'm not a fan of it.
save yourself some money and do it yourself.56nomad56 wrote:I will give the graphics company a look. I'm starting to wonder if the CF trim is even stock, or if a previous owner (bought the PF used a year ago) added it themselves. It might be easy to pry it off and clean it up.
I think I'll take it to the dealer to see if they have any opinions.
Thanks all for your input.
There is a stock CF trim that comes on the SE's. The last two pictures in the first post of this thread http://www.thenissanpath.com/viewtopic. ... highlight= show it a little bit. Does yours look different?56nomad56 wrote:I'm starting to wonder if the CF trim is even stock, or if a previous owner (bought the PF used a year ago) added it themselves.
