Yeah, I'm interested in knowing the same thing, but I don't think the alum trip is ugly.

I think the OP was asking about the interior trim, not the exterior window trim.

I'm intrested in changing mine from Dark Burl walnut to aluminum. How hard is this to do?

Would the $600 cover the cost and the labor?
