Silver dash/interior trim

Anyone selling or know where I can get OEM trim for an 03 wrx? I bought my rex used and it has carbon fiber interior trim and I have grown tired of it! I do NOT want to buy some trim that I have to stick on over the current trim.

It is even possible to remove the trim and replace it?

Thanks in advance!!!

Yes you can replace. Just pick it up at dealer. Doubtful you find it 'used'. If it's REAL Carbob Fiber (not plastic look-a-like) you might find someone who would swap(

You could also try painting your trim with a flat black paint to get the s203 or s204 impreza look. I think it looks great and gives the interior a more upscale look. Plus it would only cost you $20 max, instead of $200 or so for new trim.

Here's how it looks in the S204:

Here are the directions on painting:

I thought about painting mine black until i say those pics. I think it looks kinda cheap, I'm looking to make my interior as classy as possible, the original silver looks ok but mine is a little scrached up. I think I am going to paint it an aluminun-ish color. Does anyone else have pictures of what they have done?

Yeah I would like to see pictures. I was thinking a satin black too, but I'll probably try to match the original color as close as possible.

Thanks, WOW! That looks much better than the flat black. I am trying to "class up" my interior and i know that if i make the wrong choice in say color i'll be doing the opposite. What brand of paint did you use? Did you use a sealer or primer? How about sanding? Thanks again for those pictures, looks good.
P.S. I have an RS, did those chrome handles come on your wrx or are they from an sti? I need some.

Car Info: wrx
brand: krylon interior/exterior fushion
color: semi-flat (i think this would be the best color, i tried using gloss black...yuk, flat black is too flat for my taste.)
primer:none, i got too cheap to buy some, so i just took 220grit sand paper, and scuffed it up a lil.
sanding: i tried doing like 4 layers, then sanding. for some reason it made the paint lighter/screwed up looking. i did NO sanding at all. the paint is so good i didnt need to sand.
took about 2-3 hours.
my chrome door handles? - came with the car.

Now I'm thinking about using model paint. The Krylon Fusion seems like a great paint, but the color selection is too limited. Does anybody know if a model paint like Testors Metalizer would work ok. I think it would since it is made for plastic models, i just want to know if anyone has tried it yet. I just want everything to look stock and not cheap. Thanks
