  • Weird interior trim combo

    My car has the silver trim around the steering wheel controls (which I really like) but for some reason they put woodgrain on the door trim (which I HATE). It doesn't match anything else in the interior. Anyone know how to find a reasonably priced silver trim replacement for the doors? I'd prefer the actual OEM replacement parts, not any stick-on kits or anything. I've considered taking it apart and trying to paint it myself, but I doubt it would be a good match. I wouldn't mind having the silver around the shifter either.

    that is odd to me, why would they mix it, messed up maybe? take it in and see if they can swap it out

      My sales person said he will check with parts department tomorrow. I can't find the OEM parts anywhere online

        I think that's the way the wood-grain trim models come. I've seen many pictures of it:



        Not sure if they'd swap that out for you free of charge. I found the gunmetal silver driver side door trim on newchevroletparts for around $30...so you'd probably have to pay close to $100 to have the door and center shift trim panels replaced to silver.

            GTPGuy, that's interesting. I've got the 6MT coupe. It has no trim around the shifter, but that may be normal.

              My 6MT Coupe has the wood grain on the door handles as well. My steering wheel accents are silver and there is a silver ring around the outside of the shifter (outside of the leather boot).

              A few people have told me that they like my car's wood grain on the handles. It's just enough to be noticed, but not enough to overpower the feel of the interior. If I had to look at more wood trim near the gear selector I might feel differently about it.

                i think all the GTPs come with the woodgrain, or maybe it was the special package thing you can get with them. i hate the stuff so i will be replacing mine with stock silver trim pieces when i get the chance.

                  I have the same problem with the trim mix up!!!!!!


                  Well the dealership said it sould not come like that!! But they called the factory they say it does, well that is BS it looks like crap!!! One freakin piece of woodgrain on the driverside door!! The dealership odered me a new piece then tried to make me pay for it... no thanks...it is suppose to be all woodgrain or all silver on the package.. at least that is what is says on that window sticker and all of the other GTP's i have seen look uniform!!! Fortunately in my case, the super nice saleman that sold me the car offered to pay for because he thougt it was BS also!!!

                        Most people tell me it doesn't look too bad, but I've always hated the whole fake woodgrain thing. Just a matter of personal taste I guess.

                              really? damnit when i ordered mine the guy told me that i could not get anything but the woodgrain crap. i figured it was either the GTP or the premium value package that it came with. maybe he just didn't know any better.
