Default Anyone find matched wood radio trim kit?

I'm not looking to replace my head unit but if it ever fails then I'd like to replace it with a 2-din nav unit. Does anyone make a 2-din walnut trim install kit for the ES?

nope, a few members one-off'd their own pieces... Some came close, but you gotta pay to get it matched.

You gotta pay? I was thinking if no one makes one I'd have to get veneer and apply it to a kit and then strip and stain all the wood in the car with the same stain to make it match... lot's of work...

I'm interested too.
Most aftermarket stuff I've seen looks off.
Might be better to go with dare I say it black plastic.

Yeah it takes time & money - of which you don't have a guaranteed result. Like i said earlier a few members have done it - do a quick search and you'll see their findings.

That's your only option... they only come in black.
