Has anyone replaced their wood trim with brushed aluminum?

SimpleMan · 05-15-2007, 03:11 AM

I had to settle for the wood trim. It's not bad but I'd really love to switch it out for the aluminum.

Has anyone here done this? How much does it cost for the eight pieces and how much to install? Could replacing the trim be a DIY job or does it require taking everything apart to get the stuff off?

Thanks guys!

Some guy on ebay was selling his poplar trim so he got brushed aluminum and switched. Do a search on ebay and you can pm him.

i sold my aluminum trims to Jnt. helped him install it too. jsut make sure when you get the trims, you get all the pieces that is needed for the install. pins and bolts. you cant reuse your wood pins because they are stuck to the trims. the brush aluminum have loose pins.
