Yes the 'Titanium' trim is really just plastic that's painted titanium in color! The wood trim although is real wood.

Before I got the titanium kit, I asked a body shop if they could just paint my wood trim. They told me it was tried before and the paint started to wear off after a while.??? Apparently the wood trim has several layers of clear coat to give it that glossy look - which would have to be sanded down really good before it can be primed & painted silver.

This was a high-end body shop that does nothing but Bimmers and Benzes. For the price I was quoted to paint the trim alone, it was just under $200 more for the real thing...so I just bought the Titanium kit instead.

I got mine at Crevier BMW for around $600 or so. Can't remember the exact price.
