take it off, my car had an aftermarket wood trim kit on it when i bought my gs. get a plastic paint scraper and goo gone from home depot. its still a pia, but the scraper is really helpful. be careful on the ac and audio unit though since its painted and can chip.

I'll trade you my non-wood wheel, problem solved! I'll even drive to Wisconsin with it.

Man, you didn't even post a picture! At least let us laugh at your car's previous owner.

I still think the designer's had a brain fart on the wood thing. Seems like they either forgot a couple of pieces to finish it tastefully or had a disagreement over what piece to do next and the deadline arrived to deliver the plans, so nothing happened.

Anyhow, after you've been driving for a while you won't notice the stock wood pieces anymore. But on the cheap kit stuff, get rid of it or look into removing the parts and having it done professionally how you want it to be. Search around, many options.

I have seen they make the blackwood wheel.. but I believe its for the 400\300's as it has the shift buttons. Thanks for the offer, I will keep you in mind when I get some loot for the interior mods.. for know all money goes to HP!!

I was pretty much joking although I would love a wood wheel! I've got the E-shift buttons anyway. Don't want to go too far off topic here but I'm just curious what part of WI you're from?
