Default How difficult to replace wood?

I'm looking at buying an ES330 but I don't like the black wood trim. Can this be easily removed and then replaced? If so around how much $ will it cost?

I've tried searching but can't seem to find where anyone might have done something like this...

TIA

There are trim kits in all different styles like woodgrain, black, carbon fiber etc. on eBay for about 120$.

Yea, I've see those but do you remove the old ones? If so how difficult is it? Or do you stick the new ones over the old ones? (yuk).

Sorry for the lame questions but I've not done stuff like this before..

You would need to get oem wood peices. EBAY parts are just stickers that cover up the wood. Your wood trim is actually in the special edition es's (sport design)
Sell me them!! lol
