Non I-drive trim fit in an I-drive model?

daMau · 09-09-2011, 08:49 AM

Looking to swap out my aluminum trim and found a set that someone is selling, but it is for a AT non I-drive model, and I have MT w/ I-drive.

The trim all looks the same to me, but I seem to have the impression that non I-drive trim will not fit an I-drive model car. Anybody have a confirmation either way? Also, does the AT vs MT make a difference for the trim?

You wont have a hole for I-drive controler and menu button in center trim

Won't fit...opening for shifter will be different on the center console piece.

If I'm not mistaken though, the i-drive controller (2009+ at least) is not mounted within the accent trim, and the non I-drive models simply have an extra cup holder in it's place.
