Interior trim swap?

I'm looking for a G37xS and have found what I think is the perfect one for me except that it's black interior has the wood grain trim.

1. Is it easy to remove the trim?
2. If it easy to remove is the wood desirable enough that other members
would be interested in trading for aluminum trim? I mean historically.

Thank you and can't wait to join the community!

If this is in the wrong area I'm sorry. It seemed like a newbie question to me.

you probably would be better off taking the trim pieces off and wraping them in vinyl. they have a brushed aluminum that looks good. or you can do the carbon fiber look.

It's easy to remove trim just time consuming my interior pieces are all reprinted to match the accents on my car. The hardest part was taking and replacing them. Welcome to the fours and GL

Welcome to the site. If you do end up w/ that particular G you could make a WTT (Want to trade) listing in the classifieds and maybe you'd find an interested party that would be wanting to swap trim pieces. They're not too hard to remove & replace, You could remove and replace all trim pieces in about an hour if you do your homework and have the proper plastic prying tools. I got mine from harbor freight, I think this is the one I used and it worked out fine~

Here's a thread I have for wrapping your trim and a few tips thrown in

Thanks everyone. You just made this a non-issue for me. Seems like I have a couple of options. Again thank you and I'll let you know when I pick up my G.
