How hard to install Wood Trim?

I'm thinking light olive kit with a wheel. I see a kit with no wheel on eBay for $520... how much is a wheel? How much to get dealer to install both? Or can I do it? (not the wheel)

Very easy...hardest part is trim around key area...you have to re-use the base by removing the existing alum.trim pieces all the pieces pop off

I disagree everybody puts light olive with sand beige, you need contrast, the darker wood looks much better on sand beige and it looks different. don't forget the grab handles

As far as darker wood - I agree with the above comments about a better aesthetic look.
Wheel is about $1200 and shift **** about $320. Grab handles don't come with the cabin kit? This is not a tequipment kit?

Install on the **** and wheel are billed at an hour labor from the dealer ($120.00) My wheel was switched in about 20 minutes.

Call Sunset Imports for best price on the wheel and ****. I am pretty sure that the grab handles are part of a full kit from Porsche.

The grab handles are not part of any kit, they are sold seperately.

My Bad:
The Tequipment package includes dashboard trim strip, door trim panels, lower center console (including cupholder cover) and rear center console trim.

Additonally you will need:
Light Olive Trim. Door and center handles wood, in light olive trim with high-gloss or matte finish. For about $1490

Wheel, handles, trim, shifter - will all ad up $$$$ - but look superb.
Looked at some photos of the light olive with high-gloss with the same interior that you have and it looks good.
