Default my blackwood is done :)

well everything started here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...mate+blackwood

and after so much work, it's finally all done. here are the pics









everything is perfect fit (including the center console) coz' it's my original one, i just blackwood the whole thing that's all. it came out even cheaper than getting the jdm kits (including shift ****) which the center console doesn't even fit

the two other tester (grey and black) interior pieces would be done very soon too, but i guess now it's safe to say that i have nailed it

Very nice, especially with your car's exterior color it looks very natural, makes the stock look a little on the bling blingy side.

thanks yeah the stock wood is very very classy, but to me it's a bit over to the point that it's a bit old age imho, hehe.... so i want to get something that will still looks classy but younger. i am very happy with the result

I agree. The black still says lexus quality, but with a more modern/younger look. I like.

Very nice Henry!! Now your next challenge is to create the blackwood trim to cover the center console and not look like cheap fat stickers like the commonly available "wood" kits!
