Default Black wood interior..??

i have a 99 GS400, im just wondering where can i get black wood interior for my car. Because the factory wood in the middle(around the shifter) cracked, so mind as well buy a black wood(whole set). I like the ways how black wood goes with black interior. Thanks

Well, the center console piece is the hardest part. The JDM door pieces will fit our cars. The console one will not because it is not symmetrical. Gamma had all his pieces made to look like blackwood. What this means is that you'd have to start with good pieces and since yours is cracked, it may pose a problem. Maybe they can do somekind of repair and the blackwood layering can somehow mask the work. It does not hurt to ask I guess.

No one has reported (or at least I can't recall) looking into the SportDesign blackwood pieces. My guess would be that it is either cost prohibitive or Lexus is not selling the pieces individually.

When I had talked to steve @ carson i was told 200 for the doors and 220 for the center piece. The website has the doors but you have to call on the other piece. Shifter is 150.

I said the 4 door pieces = $200
The center piece (surrounds the shifter area) = $220
The SHIFTER (****) = $150


PM GammaLex too. He can get some good prices on parts to get recovered and do a search on his thread "blackwood season" for pics.

Yes, I believe Steve has found a manufacture to match the JDM blackwood for the center piece.

Cool. Is this a complete replacement? 17gs400 said his is cracked. This is why he is looking into a new one and we know the JDM one won't fit.
