New X5 4.4 - Changing Wood Trim

[ChitownX5]

Hello - I'm new to the X5 and this site. I just purchased a '05 Jet Black fully loaded 4.4i Sport with every option including the adjustable ride height. I love this vehicle – what an improvement over the Acura SLX I drove for 6 years! Bought the X5 at Bill Jacobs BMW in Naperville, IL from Mike Alder the internet manager. Must say Mike was great to work with and I recommend him to anyone purchasing a BMW in the Chicagoland area. BTW I paid about $1K over invoice.

Well here's my problem. The X5 was in stock and ordered as Black on Black with the light wood trim. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the light trim and would like to replace it with the Anthracite Maple. Mike Alder made me great deal in that he reduced the price of the car by a few $100 and offered to sell me the trim kit for dealer cost of $580, but I would have to pay to get it installed. He recommended that I not use BMW since the BMW techs charge $120/hour. Mike recommended Riggs Brothers a very reputable interior specialist @ $500 to replace trim. What would you guys recommend? I’m capable of doing the replacement, but something’s are just left to experts. If you think I should do it does anyone have the BMW instructions on removing the trim (besides the console instructions posted here)? Thanks much. Sorry for the long winded message.
