Has anyone tried to switch out the Aluminum trim? I hate it and would much prefer the matte Walnut...

I think OP is mixing pizzazz with "character" as in the character that quirky cars like Saabs had.

Pizzazz and luxury to me are almost exclusive. Everything that, for example, a Jaguar did with "pizzazz" was really a pain in the butt. As a luxury, sport sedan, there will be compromises. And this is one of them. I think a Subaru WRX has tons of pizzazz... But obviously little luxury. Moving towards luxury, I think the G37 is an example of a muscle car with a bit of luxury thrown in (not a lot though) - some pizzazz in feel, but definitely reduced.

Did you ever get an answer? I suspect it is a pretty straight swap but that the headlights are probably crazy expensive.
