Replacing Denali wood trim with Z71 Aluminum

[tdrumm]

Just bought a 2010 Denali with the cashmere interior for my wife and she does not like the wood grain at all. She'd rather have the aluminum look from the Z71 tahoe. She already siad she can deal with the steering wheel and console armrest lid still being woodgrain. My question is, it look like the brushed metal dash vents and steering wheel parts we have now have a brownish tint to them, and the Z71 parts look like striaght aluminum. Does onyone know if all of this will match or am I going to have to replace more parts?

TIA.

Or just get whatever design you want in a wrap and wrap it like many of us have done with carbon fiber like in the pic

I have a z71 aluminum kit and would trade for woodgrain pieces if you are interested..

My wood grain isn't in the best shape. The console piece and large piece on the dash are scratched from the previous owner.

How badly scratched? Try some MacGuire's Plast-x clear plastic polish. Then, go over it with lemon Pledge. See how that works. Works for me.

Thank you! I was just going to post asking that question. Going to try it this weekend. The console cup holder part is pretty bad. We'll see how it turns out.

you shouldn't have a problem getting rid of your wood grain pieces here...

 

[tdrumm]

Ideally I'd find someone local (northern new jersey) to swap with. Until then I got almost all of the scratches out with Meguiars Plast-x.

Dude, go with 3M Scotchprint 1080 Wrap - better quality and more user friendly.. you can find it on e-bay for like $18
http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Graphics/3Mgraphics/Products/Series1080/

I only use rvinyl for exterior light tinting
these "kits" are just pre-cut vinyl wrap
3M is way easier to apply, look up "1080 scotchprint" on you.tube

I have an 07 Tahoe with wood grain trim. Would like to swap out with the brushed aluminum trim which is around the A/C vents. Is the removal an easy process and will the trim snap back in or does it have to be glued back on somehow?

Also where could I find the trim thanks in advance

Did you remove the parts and apply the wrap? Also, did you have to heat it up?

Yeah same here was just talking about how I wonder of anyone would wanna trade. Mine is in excellent shape out of a 2008 chevy tahoe. Would be interested in trading for brushed aluminum or selling it.

best to remove the parts to get a full wrap and better look, heat gun on low,, or hair dryer helps stretch around edges and get in corners and not so flat parts - 3M gold squeegee is good also
