Thanks.
that's the catch. i couldn't find a way to match the SD pieces i was able to get my hand on one of the door pieces so i was trying to see if i can get the center piece to match, but no luck after more than a few shops. basically the blackwood technology of each shop is the same, but the color and pattern will most likely be off a littlere from one shop to another. and there is no way they can change the color or pattern. so in short, it would be almost impossible to get the headunit, etc... pieces to match the SD walnut wood trim. unless of course if you re-blackwood the whole car. but that's quite a bit of money there

LXOGOOD, looks good! And I know, since I have seen the real JDM blackwood . In fact, yours even better, since I never seen blackwood in a grey leather interior.

That looks awesome Ken. I think the blackwood looks really nice on the gray (and eventually the black) interior. For me, the jury is still out on the tan interior, sorry Rom. I have tan interior too and I would love to get the blackwood but I have to keep visualizing it in my head to see if I can get used to it and it becomes nice in my head .
