I'm now considering Grand Touring models instead of Touring because it's hard to find used CX-9s with the backup camera and liftgate options on the Tourings. I was not considering the GT before because the wood trim is disgusting (IMO). Does anyone have recommendations on replacements for the wood trim, I prefer brushed aluminum.
 
There are none that I am aware of. Your other option is to buy the sub-base model black trim and remove the GT simulated wood trim.

By the way, before I bought my CX-9, I hated simulated wood trim of any kind, and wanted nothing to do with it, but now after owning this, I really like the color it has in the CX-9, some how it just works.
 
Avoid the stick-on trim pieces on eBay.
My wife's Prius has those. They look ugly after a few years.
Even when they were new, you can see gaps (not perfect fit) around the edges.
Just my two cents.
