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!!!

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:

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?

i just painted my 05wrx interior satin black(close to flat black but a lil more shine) it turned out great. the only difference is that my three **** face's arent black like the s204, ill post pictures tomorrow.

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.

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
